Ex wants sons to spend winter break in Israel

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:29:40 GMT

Q. My husband and I divorced years ago.  He lives in Israel and I moved here with our two boys once they started middle school.  They are now in tenth grade.  Per our agreement, the children spend summers and the December break in Israel.  Given the situation, I have been trying to convince my ex to come here in December.  I offered to pay for his flight and an Airbnb for he and the boys to spend the time wherever they want in the US.  He said no.I am watching the news.  I will not send them if this war continues.  He said if I don’t send them, I am violating the law and kidnapping our children and he will get them sent back to Israel permanently.  Is that true?  I just want to keep my children safe.A. The scenario you described does not align with the Hague kidnapping convention.  If your children have been living in Massachusetts for more than six months, Massachusetts will assert jurisdiction over them for purposes of determining custody and parenting time if you were to file an ...

TV Q & A: When a TV judge rules, who pays?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:29:40 GMT

You have questions. I have some answers.Q: When the judge makes a ruling on “Judge Judy,” who pays? My wife read years ago that the maximum amount she can award is $5,000 and the money comes from the show’s production company. Does that sound correct, or does the losing party have to pay the winner?A: It does. According to many sources, “Judge Judy,” like other courtroom shows, operated as a small-claims court, which limits awards to no more than $5,000. The shows’ production companies pay the award, but participants get appearance fees as well as travel.“Judge Judy,” as you know, ended production in 2021 after almost 25 years on the air, although you can still see reruns. Judge Judy Sheindlin has gone on to “Judy Justice” on Freevee, a streaming service.Q: Do you know of a game show from I believe the ’60s or early ’70s where the set looked like an island and the contestants at some point got into a small boat to a small island? I know this sounds nuts, but ...

Godzilla’s reign as the mightiest of all atomic-age mutants continues with the new AppleTV+ series “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.”But how do you do Godzilla, last seen in a $200 million 2019 feature, on a TV budget?“There’s a couple of approaches to that question,” Chris Black, the series’ showrunner said in a Zoom interview.  “One is we were given a substantial amount of resources that’s very generous for TV.“Early on Apple recognized and Legendary Pictures recognized that what we couldn’t do was a cheap TV version of their movies. This had to be achieved at a quality level that visually approached what the films were. They were generous with resources and we got an A-level team of people who consistently busted their tails and brought their game every day and made the show look spectacular.“Part 2 of that is we knew we shouldn’t try to compete with features and try to scale it down for television. What we had to do was build this as a sustaining television series ...

Older dog’s nose problem is treatable

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:29:40 GMT

Dear Dr. John,Our older Shepherd/Rottweiler X recently developed something on top of his nose. When I first called my vet, I was asked to send in a photograph. They asked if he had been digging in the dirt or rooting. I looked around our yard and while there might have been one area where there might have been some digging done, I cannot say with certainty that it was by him.I was told to put Neosporin on the nasal lesion, and it resolved. A few weeks later, the lesion returned so I had him seen.  I was told that he might have a form of lupus and he was given prednisone as a treatment. It is too soon to say if there is any resolution, but I wonder about diagnostic testing. I was told a biopsy would be needed but isn’t there some kind of blood test to determine what he has? This dog would not respond well to having stitches on his nose. What kind of prognosis might I be facing for him? S.C.Dear S.C.,The form of lupus that your dog most likely has is called discoid lupus erythematosus...
