Problem: Write an article based on this summary: File your amendment with the clerk of courts. Pay any required fee. Serve your spouse with the amended documents. File your proof of service.

Answer: After completing the required amendment form, take it to the local courthouse where you filed your original complaint. You will then file your amendment with the clerk of courts. The clerk of courts will file your original amendment form and will give you a number of copies. When you file your amended divorce petition, you may have to pay a filing fee. Every state will have a different policy on fees, so be sure you are prepared to pay the fee in your community. If there is a fee and you cannot afford it, ask the clerk of courts about obtaining a fee waiver. For example, in California, there is no filing fee for filing amended petitions. Once your amendment is filed, you will need to hire a professional third party to serve the amendment on your spouse. You are not allowed to serve your spouse yourself. For instructions on successfully serving another party, see this wikiHow article: https://www.wikihow.com/Serve-Court-Papers. Once your spouse has been served, ask the process server to complete and return a "proof of service" form. File that document with the clerk of courts where you filed your amended complaint. For an extra fee, some process servers will file the proof of service form for you.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Be realistic about your kid. Give your child a say. Consider coaches and commitment. Watch for signs of stress. Look into other options.

Answer: Many a parent wants to believe that they have the next tennis champion or basketball star for a child, but the odds of a child growing up to achieve athletic fame and fortune is remote at best. There is no reason to crush their dreams of eventual sports glory at a young age, but you should also realistically assess their physical and emotional gifts as you help guide them into trying certain sports. For instance, a short, stocky kid may not be ideally suited to basketball, while a tall, lanky kid may not have the easiest time with gymnastics. Children who are overweight or not at an ideal fitness level may find more enjoyment (at least initially) in sports with less running demands baseball as opposed to soccer, for instance. That said, plenty of short kids love playing basketball, so don't go overboard with your assumptions. Maybe you love hockey, and have longed to see your kid out on the ice, doing the things you never got the chance to do. Don't let your vicarious athletic dreams get in the way of actually asking your child what sports he or she wants to play, however. A child who has a say in the process is more likely to enjoy and stick with a sport. It is often around age thirteen or so that some kids get "burnout" from the sports they've played, leading them to want to quit one or more sports and perhaps try others. No matter the age of your kid, prepare for ups and downs in regards to interest in particular sports, and accept his or her desire to try something new every so often. Once you've worked with your child to determine which sport or sports he or she will play, you can do some additional homework regarding the best situation for your child. Look into the skill level and time commitment expected in one league compared to another, and even consider the personalities of particular coaches. For instance, if your kid is just starting to "dip his toes" into basketball, he or she may find the extensive commitment required to be on a travel team that ventures widely each weekend to be too much. Perhaps a recreational league at your local YMCA or another such option may be a better choice. Likewise, if you know your child is unlikely to enjoy playing for a hard-nosed coach who criticizes regularly, you may want to look into other options. Of course, one of the benefits of sports is learning to deal with adversity, so don't go too far in trying to shield them from every possible discomfort. Stress can be a positive thing, spurring us to achieve things we didn't know we could do, whether in academics, athletics, or otherwise. However, excessive stress will impede enjoyment and success in a sport, and can easily bleed into other areas beyond the athletic field as well. Preventing and dealing with negative stress will make it much more likely for your child to enjoy sports. If your kid keeps making up excuses why he or she can't go to practice, never seems able to crack a smile during a game, performs below capabilities when the pressure is on, or begins having seemingly-unrelated difficulties with academics, social interactions, etc., stress may be overwhelming him or her. If you believe stress is a problem, talk to your child about keeping things in perspective. Look into stress management exercises like deep breathing, muscle relaxation, and visualization. Consider whether your child is involved in too many sports, or needs to consider switching sports. In the end, some kids simply don't enjoy sports, or team sports in particular. Despite the benefits of experiencing a team dynamic, the problems may simply outweigh them. In such cases, you may need to seek out other options for your child, at least for the benefit of his or her health and fitness. If team sports are simply not in the cards for your child, look into sports with more of an individual focus, like tennis or golf. If the competitive aspect is more of a problem, emphasize aerobic exercises like swimming, running, or biking for the health benefits.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Create a nightly routine. Make your bed comfortable. Wear comfortable sleep clothes. Relax before bed.

Answer: You need to make a nightly routine that signals to your body that it is time to sleep. What goes on in your routine should vary depending on your needs, but once you have a routine, stick to it. You can drink a cup of herbal tea, read a book or magazine, wash your face, put on your sleep clothes, or get your clothes and food ready for the next day. Make sure the activity you choose isn't too exciting or energizing, such as exercise or reading a stressful book. You want to calm yourself down, not keep yourself awake longer. In order for you to sleep more each night, you need to make sure that your bed is comfortable. If you are uncomfortable, you are more likely to wake up during the night. Get sheets that feel good against your skin in a fabric that is breathable. You don't want to get a material that is irritating to you or for you to get too hot at night. Your comforter should also be light or heavy enough depending on the time of year and the temperature in your bedroom. Also make sure the temperature in your room is at a comfortable level for you to sleep. What is comfortable may change at different parts of the year. Make sure you figure out what is best for you. When you go to sleep, you need to make sure that you are wearing clothes that are comfortable and won't cause you to wake up during the night. The type of clothes will depend on your personal preference. You may not be able to wear anything but underwear and a t-shirt or you may feel more comfortable in full pajamas. Pick what is best with you. The material that you wear should also be taken into consideration. Cotton breathes better than most fabric, so look into that for movable, breathable sleep clothes. There are certain things you can do to help yourself relax before bed. You can perform breathing exercises to help relax your mind and calm your body. You can try progressive muscle relaxation, during which you tense and then relax every muscle in your body. These will help you be more calm overall, which will make it easier to go to sleep. If you find that your mind won't shut off, try positive visualization, which helps you focus on happier, calmer thoughts instead of your hectic life. These methods may help you get more sleep because they may help you go to sleep faster. This leads to more sleep each night.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Lower the output from the chlorine generator or feeder if you have one. Remove all chlorine additives from the pool, if applicable. Allow sunlight to break down the chlorine if the weather permits. Add a chlorine-neutralizing chemical to the pool for a quick fix. Replace 25% of the saltwater with freshwater if the levels are very high.

Answer:
Many saltwater pools have a chlorine generator, feeder, or chlorinator that releases free chlorine into the water. Locate the control panel box and turn down the dial 1 level. Retest your water the following day and further adjust the dial or turn off the machine, if necessary. If you turn off the machine, be sure to test the water 2-3 times per day, and turn the machine back on when the chlorine drops below 3.0 ppm. You may have chlorine tablets or a chlorine floater in the pool. If so, remove these items immediately so they stop increasing the amount of chlorine in the water. Don't replace these items until the chlorine level has dropped below 3.0 ppm. Sunlight is incredibly effective at reducing the amount of chlorine in a pool! The UV rays break down the chlorine and allow it to evaporate. Simply leave your pool uncovered and exposed to direct sunlight. With no cyanuric acid (CYA) in the pool up to 90% of the chlorine can evaporate in as little as 2 hours on a hot, sunny day, so be sure the level doesn't drop below 1.0 ppm. Purchase a chemical that neutralizes chlorine, like sodium sulfite or sodium thiosulfate. Follow the instructions on the package for use. Typically, you'll add a dose to the skimmers with the filter running, and the chemicals will quickly lower the amount of chlorine in the water. You should be able to find these chemicals at pool supply stores and online. If the chlorine levels are really high, you can simply swap out some of the existing water for freshwater. Siphon 25% of the water out of the pool, then add freshwater to it. To siphon out the water: Submerge a tube in the pool and allow it to completely fill up with water. Plug 1 end of the tube and transfer it to an empty container at a lower elevation than the pool. Unplug the end of the tube and allow it to drain into the container. Pull the tube out of the pool when you've siphoned enough water.
