Spousal support cases are started with a spousal support petition in Family Court. There is no filing fee in Family Court. Child support and spousal support can be filed in the same petition. After a support petition is filed, the other side must be served a summons, the petition, and the financial disclosure form.
Overo Lethal White Syndrome (OLWS) is an inherited genetic defect that can occur in the offspring of Paint Horses with overo lineage. Normally associated with frame overos, it can also be found in other overos, solid horses or Quarter Horses.
(The March 2004 issue of the Paint Horse Journal has a very good article concerning this testing procedure.) If the horse is determined to be at risk for producing a lethal white foal then precautions can be taken to select a suitable horse to breed to that has been shown not to be a carrier of the gene.
