order of filiation

Read a random definition: international agreement

A quick definition of order of filiation:

An order is a command or instruction given by a court or judge. It can be a written direction or a spoken one. There are different types of orders, such as a filiation order which determines paternity and child support, or a restraining order which prohibits someone from doing something. Orders can also be related to buying or selling stocks, where an investor gives instructions to a broker on how and when to buy or sell securities. Overall, an order is a way of directing someone to do something or to follow a certain course of action.

A more thorough explanation:

An order of filiation is a court order that determines paternity in family law cases. It usually includes a direction to pay child support. Governments seek filiation orders to recover public funds spent on the child's welfare from the nonmarital child's father.

For example, if a child is born out of wedlock and the mother seeks child support from the father, the court may issue an order of filiation to determine paternity and direct the father to pay child support.

esp with the scholarship!!
I don't really know where I want to end up practicing yet, but I've enjoyed living in the midwest so far. I think I might ultimately like to end up as in-house corporate for the work life balance.

I lived in Bloomington for a long time, can't speak to the law school but can answer Qs about the city if you'd like
@ParallelAgreeableOrangutan: How do you think it is to live in as a 20-something going to grad school? The comparison is Iowa city, so not an extremely high bar for liveliness. (No offense intended towards IC. I think it's a lovely place)

If you're outdoorsy, it's nice--obv no coasts or mountains, but two small lakes really close, lots of places you can go on a lowkey hike or camp without paying park fees or anything really
