See generally Laura W. Morgan, Child Support Guidelines: Interpretation and Application Â§ 4.05 (Supp. 1999). Many states rewrote their emancipation statutes in the 1970s and 1980s to provide that a parent is released from a child support obligation when the child is 19 or graduates from high school. [See Table below.] Emancipation may also come before the age or event stated in the above Table.
The Law of Conservation of Mass (or Matter) in a chemical reaction can be stated thus: In a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed. It was discovered by Antoine Laurent Lavoisier (1743-94) [15K GIF] about 1785.
There is a scientific law called the Law of Conservation of Mass, discovered by Antoine Lavoisier in 1785. In its most compact form, it states: matter is neither created nor destroyed. In 1842, Julius Robert Mayer discovered the Law of Conservation of Energy. In its most compact form, it it now called the First Law of Thermodynamics: energy is neither created nor destroyed. In 1907 (I think), Albert Einstein announced his discovery of the equation E = mc 2 and, as a consequence, the two laws above were merged into the Law of Conservation of Mass-Energy: the total amount of mass and energy in the universe is constant.
