The Prime Minister of Dominica Hon. Roosevelt Skerrit said that at the sitting of parliament on Tuesday 25, April bills related to issues affecting the family will be tabled.
He said, “On the agenda for this meeting of the House of Assembly are the family bills which seek to improve the circumstances of our women, children, and elderly, and offer them greater protection, care, and support under our laws”.
He continued, “The bills include measures to provide for the equal status of children meaning that all discriminatory provisions in the law relating to a child born out of wedlock will be removed. This measure will ensure that all children have equal status under the law regardless of the marital status of their parents. Importantly, it also addresses matters of succession and inheritance”.
He added, “ An act for a law relating to maintenance of children will also be introduced to conform with the United Nations convention on the rights of the child. The law will seek to improve on the existing provisions related to the obligations of both parents to maintain a child”.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
