On an electronic form at work, you can optionally fill in information about your family. Along with all the other normal selections (spouse, children, stepchildren, father, mother) are<br /><br />1/2 child<br />Testator<br />Additional Spouse<br /><br />What the heck are these?<br /><br />Ken

Re: What is a 1/2 child

Stepchild is already an option. What would be the difference between a stepchild and a 1/2 child?<br /><br />I assume sdditional spouse os for the Muslim employees? We are a global company.<br /><br />I agree dave, I get enough (*^%(% from one spouse.<br /><br />They even have an option for "partner".<br /><br />Ken

Re: What is a 1/2 child

1/2 child is Biblical, from 1st Kings chapter 3 (involving two women each claiming the same child as her own):<br />" 24And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king. <br /> 25And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other."

They are half as likely to get in half the trouble half the time.

Re: What is a 1/2 child

Could it be a child with whom you share custody with a former wife? Claiming half support on your IRS forms?

Re: What is a 1/2 child

JB, good idea, but considering this is just for information purposes, and not to be used in any legal way, I find it a little out of place.<br /><br />I think 1/2 wit is more appropriate. :D <br /><br />Ken

I beieve JB has it on the 1/2 child.I think it has something to do with whether the employee is paying child support.
