Am I too old at 25 to start a degree in law? I am married with 2 kids &need to know if I am being realistic?

We Answered:

Too old? NO!

Universities often take in students as "mature age entrants" and entry is on the basis of work and other education.

There are some suggestions I would make. Find a course you can do NOW or starting soon. This could be High school graduation certificate, a course in paralegal studies or something like that. Volunteer to do some work for a charity organisation that helps people with legal problems and get some experience.

Do these things and it will help you ease into study and confirm to you and others that you have the ability and time to suceed. It will give you insight into the legal profession and confirm (or otherwise) that it is really the career for you. The experience and study will go a long way to show your suitability for a university placement and help you succeed in applying.

Remember "in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths" and "the steps of a good person are ordered by the LORD". Trust Him and He will help you make good decisions, He loves you and wants what is best for you!

Custody Battle - Similar Situation?

We Answered:

You sound like a brilliant mother and legally speaking, you're doing the best you can by complying with a court order. That said, there does seem to be some genuine concerns for your daughter's welfare. If you have a social worker who doesn't know their job and a judge with little regard for individuals, you may need to find some form of legal representation in order to get your case workers changed. Your daughter obviously is not benefitting from being in her father's care one little bit and if his parents are enabling him to keep on doing this, they are almost as bad as him. Don't break the law in trying to do whatever you do next, that will make you look as bad as him legally.

With whatever you do, please remember that you are doing a brilliant job with your daughter and you deserve to be reminded of that since you are doing it in the face of adversity. You are giving young mothers a good name!

Where can I study other than the library?

We Answered:

Sometimes I like to study in empty classrooms. At my school, they have the room schedules posted on the door so you know when they are being used. Then I just go in and study. I think this also helps because you are in the same environment when you study and take the test. For some reason, this seems to help me remember more.

Does your campus have any other libraries with private study rooms? These are excellent places to get stuff done. Or, if you are looking for public places, Panera is usually good too.

Good luck with your exams! I just finished mine today and I know how much it sucks trying to find the perfect study space.

How do I patent a concept --?

We Answered:

Getting a patent is not an easy job. Do not disclose your invention to anybody. You have to provide the patent office with full particulars of your invention (layman's explaination will not do) You have to be very careful in framing your "claims" of the patent and "disclaimers" as well. There is ample material on the internet to search from. I would suggest you to begin from the USPTO's website. FYI self mailing (as answered by my fellow answerer) is risky and no more recognized.

Should I continue to stay with my parents in law or move home?

We Answered:

Millions of women stay at home and raise their babies..Though it's wonderful that you have the support from your in-laws that you could have the option to move with them.

If your in laws are anything like mine, there will be much fuss over baby as well as telling you how to raise baby in their way not your own. It'll be tough in the begining and you may need the hand from mom or dad in law, but you'll get it Motherhood is a natural instinct. But also is learned. If it's just you and baby you can learn to forge a close knit relationship and you will know your child and she/he you. You will best understand her needs and that will last many many many years...It's well worth it. But be sure to reach out when you need a hand...You may feel clingy to baby but after awhile you won't have a problem sharing with relatives and close friends.

Maybe look into support groups online?
Or Cafemom.com... They have groups that could provide just what you are looking for..

Good luck with BABY!

I am thinking about studying law, Will it be hard?

We Answered:

Do you have a GED or high school diploma?
Have you gone to college?
First you have to go to college as an undergraduate for four years and earn your Bachelors degree. Then you have to take the LSAT exam. Then apply to law schools. If accepted you will attend law school for another 3 years, then take the state bar exam to be able to practice law.
Will you be studying at home? If you are asking will you have homework-then yes- tons of it. Most the work you will be doing for class you will be doing on your own outside of the classroom. You will have a lot of reading and will have to memorize a lot of details.
