Read a random definition: legal inconsistency

A quick definition of interspousal:

Interspousal: This word describes something that happens between a husband and wife. It's like a special word that means "related to marriage." So, if something is interspousal, it has to do with the relationship between a husband and wife.

A more thorough explanation:

INTERSPOUSAL

Interspousal is an adjective that describes something that is between a husband and wife.

- Interspousal transfer deed: A legal document that allows a married couple to transfer property between themselves without triggering a reassessment of the property's value for property tax purposes.

- Interspousal gifts: Gifts given between spouses that are not subject to gift tax.

These examples illustrate how the term "interspousal" is used to describe things that are specific to the relationship between a husband and wife. The interspousal transfer deed is a legal document that only applies to married couples, and the term "interspousal" is used to emphasize this fact. Similarly, the term "interspousal gifts" is used to describe gifts that are given between spouses, and the term "interspousal" is used to emphasize that these gifts are exempt from gift tax only because they are given between spouses.

With respect to graduate or professional school, are you or will you be in the first generation of (i) your immediate family, or (ii) the household(s) in which you grew up, to graduate from such a school?

No

[] baddestbunny

19:58

sorry that's not the question

1a2b3c4d26z

19:58

nope

[] baddestbunny

19:58

do you think non-custodial parent counts here?

[] baddestbunny

19:58

like they are immediate family but I didn't grow up with them

1a2b3c4d26z

19:58

Sure yea

texaslawhopefully

19:58

Hmm. If this Q is on a law school application it depends on what constitutes immediate family.

1a2b3c4d26z

19:58

Feel like that's an inclusive or

[] baddestbunny

19:59

yeah I was trying to decide if it was meant to be inclusive

texaslawhopefully

19:59

Oh wait the second part is household you grew up in. So, I think the answer would be yes.

[] baddestbunny

19:59

like my answer is no to the first one, yes to the second one

1a2b3c4d26z

19:59

I don't think a) anyone will find out whether you consider it inclusive nor b) care

1a2b3c4d26z

19:59

so go for it

1a2b3c4d26z

19:59

Not legal advice

[] baddestbunny

19:59

windyMagician

20:04

this is like an lr question

[] baddestbunny

20:04

the or was italicized originally if that helps at all

1a2b3c4d26z

20:05

Then it's totally inclusive

[] baddestbunny

20:06

Duke says: Will you be a first-generation professional student (i.e., none of your parent(s) or the people who raised you have a degree beyond the bachelor's level)?

[] baddestbunny

20:07

[] baddestbunny

20:07
