Identity Theft

Not technically family law, but I cannot think of something that could affect a family more than the loss of money caused by identity theft. The federal government has a website about identity theft here and I suggest that you take a look at it.

HSAcenter.com bills itself as a consumer oriented site providing information on health savings accounts.

This site is presented as general information, and not as an advertisement of, or solicitation for any health insurance product. Precise HSA tax effects depend on federal law. We recommend that you see your tax advisor for specific tax advice.
I know little myself about health savings accounts outside of some political debates on national health care. Of course, the site is pro-HSA but considering the site's disclaimer above, I think that is not objectionable or a surprise. Do take the site's disclaimer to heart, check with an accountant first. You might consider the information provided here as providing the content for that conversation with your accountant.

Creating Family Connections, Inc.

First, I have not used this service but it comes from a friend that I respect. Since I have not used this company, this is not an endorsement but offered only for informational purposes. What I have seen so far impresses me.

This is from their site:

Mission Statement

Creating Family Connections, Inc. believes it is important for children to have both parents participating, in their lives. We are committed to providing a safe environment for that visitation to occur. We seek to identify and recognize opportunities for improvement by working with families and in community programs.
The page linked to above also has a list of their services.

My only recent supervised visitation case the parties agreed to a relative as supervisor, so I have not had need of this kind of service for a long time. Which is a bit of luck for third-party agencies providing supervised visitation services have become a rarity in my area. I do intend to check them out.
