In NY child support obligations are till 21. However it is only retroactive to the date of the filing of the petition. Assuming, of course, there was no prior order.

The 1202 subsection you cited has the fine range of $0 to $400, 0-15 days in Jail and $25 surcharge (on top of the fine). The judge has the discretion to determine the amount.
Well, it seems you were defaulted and an inquest was taken. You could try to restore the casae with a motion, but it depends on how long ago the case was heard. You could file a new petition to modify but that will only retroactive tyo the date of your new filing. Talk to an attorney.
Where do I have to turn? To the "two-way left turn lane" or normal lane? New York State
Below, I've pasted a link to the NYS DMV page that outlines a number of different left turn scenarios. The resource covers left turns from one-way to one-way, one-way to two-way, two-way to two-way, two-way to one-way, and two-way to four-lane highway. I hope it helps. Good luck

You did the right thing offering to pay for the damages caused by your dog. As for the new charge, that is a judgment call. An argument can be made that this is related to the injuries caused by your dog. However, if the owner did not take proper precautions to prevent reinjury, you should not... Read more »
Would starting a new business in the same field violate my non compete? And if so, what is the penalty?
First, no one could answer this without seeing the terms of your agreement. Second, even if you had a solid defense, another issue is whether your old company would sue you in any event.
The wording on the form says 10 days, without including any distinctions between weekdays, weekend days, holidays, etc. If you can get the form in within ten days, that would be best. Good luck

While these forums are good for general inquiries, the best advice I can give you is to speak with an attorney who is... Read more »
I kept the machines 2 weeks past the date to return them
It could depend largely on the terms of the agreement for the equipment and what penalties apply for returning the equipment late, the reason for returning the equipment late, and how the court views the arguments of the opposing parties, together with other possible factors. Good luck
