How to Avoid Child Support Hassles

Child support enforcement, while it can help ensure that one gets the money they need from an ex-partner or ex-spouse to help them support their children, can also be expensive and difficult for both divorcees and their children.

Child support enforcement can by avoided from the very beginning by making divorce and child support arrangements as water-tight and as amicable as possible. If you and your ex-partner agree to a consistent plan, there is simply a better chance that both of you will actually stick to the plan.

According to experts, there are several ways that you can help your child get the support they need, right from the beginning:

Malaysia Hosts 4th Annual Asia Pacific Cord Blood Bank Consortium Meeting (APCBBC)

Malaysia for the first time, plays host to the 4th annual Asia Pacific Cord Blood Bank Consortium (APCBBC) forum here today at Hilton Sentral Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. The forum brings together the region's foremost and leading cord blood stem cell banking companies throughout the Asia Pacific region.

Member countries which include Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand will meet for a entire day to discuss and highlight the issues arising from the cord blood banking industry on a local and global front. The forum will address industry perspectives, medical breakthroughs and the applications of cord blood stem cells in the region today and in the future.

Formed in 2002, the APCBBC's first forum was inaugurated in Taiwan in 2003, followed by Singapore (2004) and Korea (2005). The once a year meetings are a much anticipated event as it provides an opportunity for the members to meet and discuss the status of the industry in each country. Industry perspectives include how cord blood stem cell banking has provided for successful patient transplantation and enabled doctors to offer their patients stem cell therapy as an option, and how the industry is perceived by the general public.

Sharon Low, Managing Director of StemLife and host to this year's APCBBC forum in Malaysia, "As a consortium, our members aim to make cord blood stem cell banking not only accessible but affordable and useful to our respective community of expectant parents who wish to take advantage of what new medical technology has to offer."

In addition, topics such as new medical breakthroughs and application of stem cells in regenerative medicine will also take centre stage at this forum due to the advances documented worldwide. "People choose to bank their child's umbilical cord blood stem cells when they see medical successes and new therapies on the horizon, it is important that the number of applications continues to develop" explains Chris Tsai, CEO of Taiwan's Bionet Corporation, BabyBanks.

Themed "Stem cells - a global phenomenon and medical revolution in Asia" the consortium plans to educate the general public on the exciting possibilities of stem cell banking and therapy. Over the last two decades, umbilical cord blood stem cells have proven effective in treating patients with blood cancers, genetic blood disorders such as thalassemia major and on-going research may yield potential capabilities in forming skeletal muscles, heart muscle, liver, neuronal and cartilage regeneration.

The benefits of cord blood stem cell banking has even been linked to the ability to extend an athlete's career. According to recent news reports, a number of premiership footballers have banked their child's umbilical cord blood stem cells for future treatments not only for their child but also their own career-threatening sports injuries. With future stem cell breakthroughs, athletes may be able to prolong their careers despite their intensive exertion and injuries.

Representing Malaysia, StemLife Berhad is one of the youngest and leading stem cell companies in the APCBBC and is the first in the country to offer cord blood stem cell banking and the first in the Asia Pacific region to offer adult stem cell banking services to complement its stem cell banking services, StemLife also collaborates closely with leading medical specialists and hospitals in the country to offer leading edge stem cell therapy and consultancy services.
