INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Another way to stop child support payments is to obtain custody of the child. If you ask for custody, the court will look to a variety of factors to determine what is in the child's "best interests." These factors will differ by state. They will be listed in either a statute passed by the legislature or in a court opinion issued by your state supreme court. Courts will look at different factors, depending on state. Michigan, for example, considers: the love and affection existing between the parties and the child; the ability and willingness of the parties to provide food, shelter, clothing, and medical care; moral fitness of the parent; stability of the custodial environment; and mental and physical health of the parties, among other factors. Among a variety of factors, Kentucky considers the wishes of the child; the child's adjustment to home, school, and community; the mental and physical health of all individuals involved; as well as the interaction and interrelationship of the child to each parent and to siblings. To find the specific factors for your state, search online for "best interests of the child" and then your state. Custody determinations are complicated and important. An experienced attorney may have insight as to what judges will consider persuasive evidence that custody should be modified. Even if costs are a concern, some attorneys provide "unbundled services," which means that they will provide limited services such as document preparation, legal advice, or coaching for a flat fee. If at any time you are confused about how to proceed, you should seek out a lawyer's assistance. To find an experienced, local family lawyer, search your yellow pages or perform an internet search for "child custody attorney" and your city or county. Generally, you will file your petition in the county where your child lives. This is true even if you live in a different county. To modify custody, you need to file a petition with the court. Your courthouse should have preprinted, "fill in the blank" forms for you to fill out. Stop into the courthouse or look on this website. Fill out the forms accurately and completely. The forms may request financial information, such as how much you make in a year and the present cash value of life insurance or retirement accounts. Give yourself plenty of time to fill out the forms. Some states require an online interview, which helps generate the appropriate forms. You may have to create a username and password in order to access this program. Once you have completed the appropriate forms, you may need to sign them in front of a notary. You can find a notary by visiting your state's Department of State website. Also, many banks have notary services available for a fee. Many courthouses provide notary services as well. You must bring sufficient personal identification to prove to the notary that you are who you say you are. Acceptable identification includes a driver's license, a passport, or a state-issued personal identification card. File the original set of documents with the clerk of court. Keep several copies for your records as well as to mail to the other parent. You will probably be asked to pay a filing fee. Ask the clerk to stamp your copies with the filing date. If you cannot pay the fee, ask for a fee waiver and complete it. Do not be embarrassed to ask for it if you cannot pay. The clerk will also need to sign your summons, which will be returned to you. Attach the original summons to the copy of the documents for the other parent. Depending on your state, you can serve them in a variety of ways: You can pay the sheriff's office to serve them. You can pay a private process server to serve them. You can arrange for a friend or relative (not involved in the case and over the age of 18) to serve them. This person must complete a "Proof of Service" form as well. Arrange for a friend to mail the papers registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, with delivery restricted to the other parent only. You probably cannot serve the papers yourself. If you have questions about acceptable methods of service, ask the court clerk. The other parent will have to answer your petition. You should receive a copy. If you don't, then call the clerk and ask if it has been received. At the hearing, you will have to present evidence why you believe that custody should be changed. You may present witnesses and seek to introduce documents. To properly seek custody, you should have an attorney represent you in court. Preparation for the hearing could be extensive: you will need a list of witnesses who can establish that it is in the best interest of the child that he or she live with you, and you will need to prepare to testify.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Lay a ruler across the opening of the bag. Write down the length. This will be how long you will be making the sticks for the frame. Purchase some thin balsa wood sticks from an arts and crafts store. They look like squares or rectangles when you look down at them from the top. Cut the sticks down to the right length. Put a drop of wood glue in the middle of one stick. Place the other stick on top of it, making a cross or X shape. Wait for the glue to dry. Try to get the thinnest stick possible. It will be the lightest and easiest to fly. Do not buy dowels; those are not balsa wood and will be too heavy.
Summary: Measure across the bag's opening. Consider using balsa wood sticks instead.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: People always like to get something free. You can offer some related item or incentive to increase the odds that people will purchase the eBook. This is a particularly good strategy if you have other eBooks that you've written. You can offer access to one of these books for free with the purchase of your new book. Keep in mind that you should never offer something for free that will cost you a lot of money. If the cost of the free gift is more than the profit you'll make on the eBook, you will put yourself in the hole financially! An affiliate program is a system to gain referrals in exchange for a commission. Members of your affiliate program will receive a small incentive to promote your book for you.. For instance, a popular lifestyle blogger might recommend your eBook and provide a referral link to her readers, and she will earn a 10% commission on sales that result from site traffic and purchases using that referral link. You need to ensure that the price of your eBook can justify paying commissions. A book that sells for $0.99, for example, can only afford a few penny's worth of commission for referrals. You can ask friends, family, or members of your writing club to serve as affiliates, but the most affective online affiliates are those with a substantial blog or social media presence. Search engine optimization (SEO) is a way to ensure that when people search the internet using popular search engines, your eBook will show up in the suggested results. For instance, if you've written an eBook about changing tires, your eBook website would show up in the first page of search results when a person typed in the search query "how to change a tire." To take advantage of search engine optimization, you need to make sure your eBook or author website uses the right terms and phrases, known as keywords, to drive traffic to your site. Start by creating a very extensive list of all the possible search engine queries a person may use who would benefit from your eBook. In the example of an eBook on changing tires, you might include makes and models of cars included in your guide; popular brands of tires; words like tire, car, maintenance, mechanic, service; and others. Next, update your website using these words as much as possible, in the actual text visible to readers (the "front page") and the indexing system you use on the "back page" as you write the website. You still want your website to be helpful, reader-friendly, and attractive, so be careful to keep it sounding natural. If you are uncomfortable with website design, you can hire a consultant to build your site and ensure that SEO drives traffic to your site..

SUMMARY:
Offer a bonus item or another incentive to purchase now. Create an affiliate program so that others will promote your eBook. Use search engine optimization to drive traffic to your website.
