If someone takes their kids dad to court for child support, do they automatically do a paternity test? This guy signed the birth certificate, and lived in the home with child and mother for two years and then bailed. Now he doesn't want to help. He hasn't said anything about requesting a paternity test(don't think he will) Will the court do one on their own accord? The father lives in Glendale, Az and the mother lives in Mesa, Az. Together they lived in North Phoenix, Az. I don't know if the cities matter at all.

I was wondering if I can use some kind of pre made dough rather than making it myself? Every time I try to make dough of any kind(other than challah) I annihilate it! Can you buy pre made blintz or crepe dough? Or can I use a pie crust dough? I have several wonderful recipes for the filling already. Than you for any responses!

My new Chi pup, just got last night 6 weeks old. We noticed she drags her butt like dogs with worms, but she only does it after pooping. The people we got her from said they wipe her butt after pooping(weird to me) but then she doesn't do it anymore. Is she just cleaning her butt?

Also, we would not have taken her before 8 weeks, but the mom was not taking care of the pups. She is having a hard time with dry food, should I try wet?

My son is now 14 months old and driving me up a wall! I can not seem to find an effective way to discipline him. If I smack his hands he will either smack me back or bite me, and if I just tell him no he looks at me and does it anyways. I know he understands the word no because occasionally he will shake his head no when I say it and then he wont do it. I don't know what to do I am at the point where I do not believe at his age that physical discipline is effective. I need to figure something out before this gets any worse. Thank you for any legitimate advice that you have.

My son sticks his legs or sometimes arms through the bars on his crib. Lately he has been sticking both legs through the bars until his diaper is up against it and he can't get any farther. He usually wakes up with tiny dime size bruises, but this morning he had a bruise the size of a golf ball. It really freaks me out and I am scared he is going to break his leg! He does have crib bumpers, but he moves them around. I was thinking maybe buying the mesh bumpers to put under the real ones? I would appreciate any suggestions, Thanks so much

We just got it and don't know a whole lot about it yet. We are pretty sure we fried something, wondering if anyone had any ideas? There was a little smoke, not much. We lost interior lights, headlights, horn, and the injectors aren't pumping fuel. We still have turning signals and brake lights. The car cranks over, but isn't getting gas. We checked all of the fuses under the dash, but aren't sure if there is another fuse box we missed?
