In California, a judge can appoint a guardian to care for a person under age 18 or to manage the minor's estate (property), or both.  Guardianships can be in probate court.  And guardianships can also be ordered in juvenile dependency court.  In some states, conservatorship of an adult is called guardianship, but not in California. (Compare with conservatorship.)
guidelines: In family law, a standard method for figuring out child support payments based on the income of the parent(s) and other factors according to state law. The Federal Family Support Act of 1988 says states must use guidelines to calculate support for each family unless there is a written court finding saying the guidelines would be inappropriate for that case.

The withholding agent should make a reasonable allocation of the payment based on the facts and circumstances of each contract. The following is an example of an accepted, reasonable method:
Example:
 Golfer is a resident of Nevada, receives endorsement income under a contract that requires him to wear the sponsorâs logo at tournaments, and plays in tournaments in both Nevada and California. In 2010, the golfer played in a total of 20 tournaments and earned $100,000 in endorsement income. Of those 20 tournaments, ten were in California. Golferâs California source income is $50,000 ($100,000 X 10/20):

$50,000
California source income

Ã 7%
Withholding rate

$3,500

If the amount subject to withholding ($50,000 in the example above) is equal to or less than $1,500, no withholding is required. Refer to Question 47 for other examples of reasonable calculation methods.
88. Is withholding required if the compensation paid to nonresident athletes or entertainers is made to their California agents or promoters?
Yes. Withholding is required even if the agent or promoter meets one of the exemptions listed in FTB Pub. 1017, Resident and Nonresident Withholding Guidelines, PAGE 8, question 34. Since the athlete or entertainer performed the service, the athlete or entertainer is required to report their compensation for the performance and is solely entitled to the entire withholding credit.
Entertainment
This portion explains the requirements for those making payments to nonresident entertainers.
89. Is withholding required on previous payments made to a nonresident entertainer if the withholding agent reasonably believed that total payments to a nonresident entertainer for the year would not exceed $1,500, but later determines that the total payments will exceed $1,500?
No. Withholding is optional at the discretion of the withholding agent on the first $1,500 in payments made during the year. Withholding must begin as soon as the total payments of California source income for the calendar year exceed $1,500.
90. How much withholding is required on performance deposits or guarantees?

Essential health benefits include doctor and specialist visits​, chronic disease management, dental and vision care for children, emergency services, hospital care, lab services, maternity and newborn care, mental health and substance abuse services, many prescription drugs, rehabilitation services and equipment, and preventative and wellness services. If you have an older (“grandfathered”) plan, your plan might not cover all of these benefits.
Many health plans must offer no-cost preventive care, such as vaccines and cancer screening. You do not pay a co-pay, co-insurance, or deductible for these services.
If you go to the emergency room for a health emergency, the plan must pay for that care. You can go to the nearest hospital, even if its not in your health plan’s network.
Most plans cannot put an annual limit or a lifetime limit on costs they pay for essential health benefits. This means they cannot put a limit on paying for your care if you get sick.
Your plan must let you see a specialist if you need one.

Your right to keep health coverage

Health plan cannot cancel your coverage just because you get sick or make an unintentional mistake on your application.
Health plans generally cannot cancel your coverage unless you did not pay your premiums or you did not fill out your application truthfully.
A health plan has to give you notice if your coverage is ending. Sometimes you also must be given the option to enroll in a different plan.
If you lose your coverage, you may qualify for a special enrollment period to get a new health plan.
If you lose your plan through your job, you may have the option to keep buying that same plan through COBRA or Cal-COBRA.

Prescription Drug Coverage

Most health plans are required to cover prescription drugs.
Not all plans cover all medications. The list of prescription drugs that a plan covers is called a formulary. You can check your plan’s formulary to see which prescriptions are covered and how much they will cost.
How much you pay will depend on your plan. Some plans have different deductibles or copays for prescription drugs. Check your plan for details.

Complaints

 

How do I make a complaint about securities fraud with the New York State Office of the Attorney General?

Please view information on how to file a complaint with the Investor Protection Bureau (IPB).

 

What happens after I make a complaint?

After the Investor Protection Bureau (IPB) receives your complaint, it will review the matter and assign it to an attorney or other representative for investigation. If we determine that your complaint should be handled by a different bureau or agency, we will forward your complaint to the appropriate office and we will inform you.
Please note that the bureau cannot represent individuals in private matters. We investigate and prosecute fraud on behalf of the public at large where we suspect a pattern of fraud affecting many investors.

 

How can I check whether a broker or issuer has a license to do business in New York? How can I review their background?

You can get basic information over the phone by calling the IPB's record department. Our staff can only give basic answers about an individual, such as employment history, exams or series taken, and yes or no answers about disciplinary history.
Under the U.S. Department of State Freedom of Information Law, most files maintained by the bureau are available for your review.
Consumer Guide to Funeral and Cemetery Purchases - Cemetery and Funeral Bureau
The statement must also include charges for outside vendor services arranged by the funeral establishment such as flowers, clergy honoraria, newspaper notices, music, etc. Make sure the statement includes only those items you have selected. If you have chosen a funeral package, the statement should describe all the goods and services that are included. Be sure you have the total dollar amount in writing before you sign the contract.
The law allows a funeral establishment to set a fee for professional services, such as the funeral director's time spent:

Helping you plan the funeral;
Making arrangements with a cemetery or crematory (or other funeral establishment if the body will be shipped out of the area);
Obtaining the death certificate and other required permits;
Submitting the obituary and "unallocated overhead," which includes taxes, insurance, advertising, and other business expenses.

The funeral establishment may require you to pay this fee in addition to the specific funeral goods and services you select.
(NOTE: It is illegal for a funeral establishment to charge a handling fee if you wish to use a family-built casket or a casket you purchased elsewhere. However, the casket must meet the cemetery's or crematory's standards and must take into consideration the size of the body. It is also illegal for the funeral establishment to make false claims about the preservative qualities of a casket or to charge contagious disease fees or fees for protective clothing for staff.)
Embalming
The law does not require embalming. However, the person with the right to control disposition must accept or decline embalming by signing a specific form prescribed by the Bureau. Additionally, a funeral establishment must refrigerate an unembalmed body in its possession if burial or cremation does not take place within 24 hours. (See exception under Home Death Care.) As a practical matter, however, you may wish to authorize embalming if there will be a delay before a public viewing. Keep in mind that embalming does not prevent decomposition of a body.
(NOTE: A coroner may require embalming in certain circumstances.)
Cremation
The law does not require the purchase of a casket before cremation.

You may be able to take action before getting sued
Before filing a lawsuit, a creditor will often charge late fees, send you a series of notices, or contact you by phone. There are laws in California that limit what the creditor can do when contacting you. 
Negotiating with the creditor to settle a debt before a lawsuit is filed is often the least expensive way to resolve a debt. This is because neither side has invested in court costs or spent much effort trying to collect the debt. 
Learn about how to resolve a debt before a lawsuit
If you're being sued, you'll receive official court papers

If you are being sued, you’ll receive at least two documents. One is called a Summons and the other a Complaint.
These documents are typically handed to you or might be left with someone 18 years or older at your home, work, or mailing address. 
How to read the Summons and Complaint
