Colin has just been hired in a family law practice. His job description indicates that he will be assigned to work on drafting separation agreements. He would be well advised to do all BUT which one of the following?
 
  A) Discuss the specifics of each agreement he is assigned to draft with other paralegals in the office because they may have experience drafting agreements involving similar fact patterns.
  B) Review the laws (case and statutory), rules, and procedures governing the content and format of separation agreements in his or her jurisdiction.
  C) Examine model agreements available in firm files, form books, and state practice manuals.
  D) Examine previously drafted agreements in closed divorce files for cases that presented similar fact patterns.

Question 2

Paternity fraud can be as innocent as a true misunderstanding as to who is the father of her child causing the mother to perpetrate a falsehood about the child's biological father's identity. However, in other cases, a mother may deliberately withhold information that fraudulently misleads both the child and the man believing him to be the child's father. Briefly provide some of these misleading reasons a mother may give to hide the true identity of her child's father.
 
  What will be an ideal response?
