Health check for distant cousins marriage?

We Answered:

There's really no problem . However, anybody who wants to check DNA tendencies could, but only if you have a family history of DNA carried disease. Ask yourself ' Does my family have a history of disease. Does my partner's family have a history of any particular disease? Then ask your doctor or genetic counselor if those diseases are DNA linked,. Usuually the answer is no. Ony rarely do two people have hidden DNA histories, which when joined develop into a certain disease in their kids. Usually these people are brother and sister and only rarely do they have a family history of hidden DNA disease. But to be safe and happy see a genetic counselor.

Child Support - My friend started getting money taken out of his check for health insurance for a child - How?

We Answered:

First of all before any type of support is enforced by being deducted from checks etc, paternity has to be established. I don't think you got the whole story.
