First, allow me to help…

First, allow me to help you pronounce my name, it’s like Renee (or ShaNay Nay) but with a D and my last name is like dungeon with an M. Also, I am female (at work I am commonly referred to as Sir with people who I only communicate with in email, which is A LOT). I do have a full time career that is very demanding, I get called into work on weekends unexpectedly (due to emergencies that are terrible), I work 1 weekend a month, and I have to travel randomly to random places for random reasons and for random timeframes. I love my career and have for 16 years, though I am finally working on my Associates Degree in Political Science.

My main interest (which directly relates to this class) is also my next career adventure, Child Support Laws and Child Custody Laws. And to answer the next most obvious question you may be asking, yes I am a single mother who did decline my Friend of the Court rights because I think the current laws for Child Support are not followed and discriminatory towards fathers, which is why I am most interested in this subject. I haven’t really thought about different countries economic systems, but I am definitely looking forward to being able to explore how the rest of the world approaches such a personal and sensitive subject as Child Support.
