In the situation where one parent does not cooperate in sharing the responsibility for child support, the controversy should be submitted to a court. The first step is to obtain an order for the payment of child support. Further action in the court for the purpose of collecting child support can be taken if the obligor parent fails to comply with the court order for payment of child support. Like other enforcement of judgment actions, the available remedies range from simple to complex proceedings.
Equal Opportunity
Equal Opportunity is a descriptive term for an approach intended to give equal access to an environment or benefits, such as education, employment, health care, or social welfare to all, often with emphasis on members of various social groups which might have at some time suffered from discrimination. This can involve the hiring of workers and other such practices. Social groupings generally emphasized in such a way are those delineated by aspects of gender, race, or religion.
Equal opportunity practices that are race-blind or gender-blind may be distinguished from practices that involve or require affirmative action or Reverse Discrimination. The United States Federal Government and various state and local governments require affirmative action in terms of governmental hiring and contracting; many other countries make such action illegal.
The method of providing equal opportunity, and the likelihood that such a state of equality is impossible are aspects of the controversial nature of the concept of "Equal opportunity".
