Problem: Article: New York legal procedures when children are involved are quite complex. It is best for you and your spouse to agree on issues of property, custody, and visitation before you begin to prepare the mountain of forms. Consider summarizing your agreement in a memo that you and your spouse both sign and date. It may prevent arguments further into the procedure. There are 17 forms required to complete an uncontested divorce with children in New York. These forms can be downloaded as Microsoft Word documents or as .PDF files for printing. The state has also compiled a detailed instruction book that details how to fill out the forms field by field. As you complete the forms, one or both spouses can elect to be restored to an unmarried surname. This includes couples that elected to legally hyphenate their names when they married. A divorce decree will allow reissue of driver's licenses, social security cards, and voter registration. Nothing in the law prevents you from having help, either your spouse, someone else, or a paid preparer to complete the divorce package. Type or print the forms neatly in black ink. This enables the forms to be copied and scanned clearly. Even if you and your spouse are agreeing to a different amount, you must still file a completed worksheet to show what the payment would be under the law. The judge will only deviate from the presumptive amount on a showing that there will be adequate support for the children. You must also complete a Medical Support Order stating that the parents will enroll the children in employer health care when it is available. You and your spouse can work on the worksheet together, you can exchange it with each of you filling out your part, or you can estimate your spouse's income and expenses. Note, if you estimate it, your spouse can contest the amount and delay the divorce. It is better to cooperate. Most of the documents require your signature, some of them in front of a notary public. There are also places for your spouse to sign for an uncontested divorce. Even though you prepared the documents in black ink, sign them in blue to identify the original documents. Like a divorce with no children, the divorce with children can be expedited if the defendant is willing to waive service and accept the summons and complaint. To waive service, your spouse can sign the Defendant's Affidavit. If your spouse refuses to sign the affidavit, you will have to arrange for a process server to deliver the divorce package and file an Affidavit of Service. This will add approximately 40 days to the length of the divorce procedure. Once the forms are complete and signed, you can file them at the courthouse in the county where you live, even if another courthouse is closer. At this time you will pay the filing fees or file an application to have the filing fees waived. Take the originals and two copies. The court will keep the originals and there will be one file-stamped copy for each of you. Ask the court clerk if there is a requirement for you to appear. Depending on the county of filing, you may or may not have to be present in court for hearings on uncontested divorces. If divorce is granted by signature, you will receive the pre-filled postcard from your divorce package in the mail. At that time, you can pick up your divorce decree at the court clerk's office. Bring your identification and expect to pay around $10. If you have an order waiving your fees, bring a copy and your document fees will also be waived. Give a copy to your spouse. You can now proceed with changing your name on documents, rewriting leases, updating school records, and financial accounts.
Summary: Verify that the divorce is uncontested. Review the legal forms and instructions. Complete the child support worksheet. Sign and notarize the documents. Determine if service is needed before you file. File for an index number and calendar your divorce. Receive your final divorce decree.

Problem: Article: Your skill level and the design you want to create will determine the type of stone you need. Stones with a flat surface, such as river rocks, work best for beginners. Softer sedimentary rocks (such as sandstone, limestone and soapstone) are easier to drill into. Keep your eyes open for stones when you're outside at the beach, in your garden, etc, or purchase engraving stones from your local arts and crafts store. Alternatively, you can use a point chisel and mallet or hammer to do your engraving, but an electric engraver will make the process much easier. Look for an electric engraver or rotary tool that allows you to change out the tip. A carbide tip is appropriate for engraving softer stones like sandstone, limestone or soapstone. A diamond tip is best for engraving harder stones or glass. Engraving tips come in various shapes and widths. For a basic design, the standard carbide tip that comes with your tool will be enough. Over time, you can add to the complexity of your designs by using a cone tip to create detail lines and a cylindrical shaped tip for shading and dimension. Electric engravers or rotary tools can be found at your local hardware store, craft store or online. Sketching your design onto your stone or creating a stencil before you start engraving will save you a lot of missteps along the way. Wax-based pencils, china markers or permanent markers can be used to draw your design directly onto the stone. You can make an easy stencil using cardboard or acetate and a craft knife. Beeswax and latex paint are optional design supplies that can be used to add color and shine to your stone. Safety goggles should be used during all of your engraving projects. Engraving throws small pieces of stone and dust into the air that can damage your eyes. Prepare a bowl of water large enough to submerge the stone. This will be used to cool and clean the stone during the engraving process.
Summary: Find a stone. Purchase an electric engraver or rotary tool. Get a wax-based pencil, marker, or stencil materials. Purchase safety goggles. Get a bowl of water.
