Introduction: Down The Hole
Let start by explaining what brought me to this fatal negotiation. The path to negotiations started after my second day back home from my deployment in Iraq. On a Saturday morning in November of 2010, I got visited by the angel of not so good news who officially serves me with a notification that my formal wife wanted an increase in child support for the only son we had together. The funny thing about it is that in 18 months, in July 2012, he was going to turn eighteen. Because for many reasons, I did not agree with the increase she was asking for and we enter into a negotiation battle.
Why more? & Why not?
The first question that came to my head was - what is the reason she was asking for more, why now? The reason for my question was the fact that I had never fails to pay the child support, I was always looking forward to having him with me, and my formal was a professional quality control manager for a big chain of supermarkets in Texas. I will say she probably was making more than I was (close to the six figures), plus $960.00 of child support for one kid; and for this reason I could not say she was short of money or that my son was starving. My son was also going to Public H.S., so no mayor extra education expense there. I did ask why she wanted more, and her only explanation was that my son required more school cloths and he is spending more on extracurricular activities. Of course I ask my son, and the only extra school activity he was doing was the school theater club and going out to the movies once a while with his friends. Especially, because his mom’s house was kind far away from town and she really did not the time to drive him around. Again, I could not understand the fact that s...

.... We should have gone with a professional negotiator or mediator, after my second failure and try to resolve the issue before going in front of the Judge. I knew the possibility of the Judge sending us mediation, if we have not done it before going in front of him. This would have save time and maybe there was a better change for an agreement, before competiveness grew after seeing the judge. I fail to have counter- tactics during the mediation process, so end up paying the $1600. Another mayor failure was to be able to understand my formal wife goals and potential alternative, by finding the real reason for her wanting an increase. My proposal and action was based on assumptions and not facts (“Know the other party” (Garrett 159))

For the purpose of the paper, I will summarize the facts and leading events of the case of Elenita L and Romer N. Fajota. As reading through this trial I discovered that judges don’t always make the right decision for families or individuals. Likely in this case it is presentably true. Elenita and Romer got married in June 2005 and have three minor children together. As their marriage progressed, in the beginning of the year 2006, Romero became physically violent against Elenita. Romer committed various acts of violence against her and stated in court that it continued “even while pregnant with their second child”. But however, from 2006 to 2008 the violence continued against Elenita and her children. As the domestic violence continued, Elenita filed a

Forty-one percent of a couple’s first marriage ends in divorce, according to mckinleyirvin.com. Also, Seventy-five percent of children with divorced parents live with their mother while forty-three percent of children growing up nationally, are raised without their fathers. Many factors leads to the decision of the child’s custody, although mothers usually win. However, what if both parents are capable of providing a decent life for the child? Unhealthy relationships between parents can question the true intent behind child custody. After reading Pop Quiz 7 in, “Octet”, from Brief Interviews with Hideous Men by David Foster Wallace, parents used money, vengeance, and love in the battle for child custody. Similar to the situation
The construction site was in a downtown area of a large southeastern city, criss-crossed with city streets, utilities, and immediately adjacent to mid-rise and high rise buildings. Nearly all of the work was required to be constructed within temporary piling structures to limit settlement of adjacent structures. The construction contract called for seven phase releases of work areas and nine completion milestones, each milestone has its own liquidated damages penalty. The construction contract was valued at $10 million, and the duration was 545 calendar days. Following the completion of the work, the contractor filed a claim for $5.5 million and 1.1 million in interest. The authority subsequently denied the claim and the contractor, in accordance with the contract, filed an arbitration demand with the American Arbitration Association. Following the contractor’s issuance of the demand letter, the parties agreed to resolve the dispute through negotiation” (Ray,

Furthermore the inclusion of a premium, offers less incentive for collusion as contractors are more inclined to deviate from a cartel to receive a higher payoff. Although theoretically feasible in a controlled environment, in real life there are laws and regulations that protect firms against collusive practices. In the case where the client may suspect collusion is a real possibility, AMSA offers the most effective collusion deterrence. However administratively it may be difficult to implement phase 1, where the price sequentially drops as the tender process takes several months with contractors rarely interacting with each other compared to an auction where the bidders are together and bid in one sitting.
There has been a great debate about whether a parent should be held responsible for the crimes of their child. Having a child is is a lot of responsible not only be concerned about their well-being but getting them to daycare, after school activities, or appointment can be stressful. But there is widespread of a lot of people having kids and not taking care of them. parental accountability laws have been in the legal system a long time.

The divorce case I observed has been ongoing since 2010, and I expected the debate to be over child support. I expected to see a debate between both parties. I also expected to see the defendant being placed under arrest due to his failure to pay child support. I expected to learn how a case in court is presented, but this time on a more mature level.
The financial burden means you have to work extra hours to meet the demands of the family. You have little time with the children to give them the appropriate parental guidance. Your unstable emotions decrease your zeal to work on your child’s negative feelings,
A wife is wanting a divorce after discovering her husband’s unfaithfulness, however, the husband does not wish to get a divorce. Rachel Anne contacted an attorney in order to begin the divorce proceedings and Eugene seemed accepting of the divorce until child custody became a controversy point. Rachel Anne and Eugene agreed to enter mediation with Greg as their mediator. (ACU, 2015).
