There are 2 basic issues in regards to custody: Physical or residential custody - Which parent the children will live with. This parent is referred to as the Residential Custodian. Legal custody - who will make the decisions on behalf of the children concerning health, education, religion and general welfare. The most common form of custody is Joint Legal Custody. This is where the children live with one parent (residential custodian) while the other parent has visitation rights. With Joint Legal Custody, both parents make the decisions on behalf of the children concerning health, education, religion and general welfare. Joint physical custody Often referred to as shared parenting, it is when the child resides with both parents for a significant amount of time. This arrangement does not always work out to be an exact 50/50 split. In order for this type of situation to work, there must be cooperation on both sides. The parents would also have to live in close proximity as not to affect the child's schooling. A few years ago there was a trend towards awarding this type of custody, however recently it has been determined that this may not be in the best interest of the child. Sole legal custody Is when one parent has the right to make all the legal decisions regarding issues such as health, education, general welfare and religion. This type of custody is not very common anymore.
The phrase "although the child's parents are his earliest and most important model" functions as a dependent (or subordinate) clause. It introduces a contrast or concession to the main idea of the sentence, indicating that despite this fact, something else may be true or relevant. The word "although" signals that the clause provides background information that may complicate or qualify the main assertion.
What does the aged parent like to read each night?
The aged parent likes to read mystery novels each night before going to bed.
If you have a valid court order you may take the children into your care. If the situation warrants the assistance of the local police you should contact them and show them the custody order. It would be better for all involved, especially the children if it could be handled w/o police assistance or negative confrontation.
From the book The giver- Why would a parent call their child by their original birth number?
It is a way to show disappointment... As in they are using your number because you have rendered yourself unworthy of your name... It is used the in the same way that a parent might scold their child with their full name (first, middle, and last)...
his name is actually Edward if you are talking about his birth father In Breaking Dawn, when Bella is deciding what to name her child, she says she'll name it E.J. because she didn't think Edward would want his son named after his actual father
What do you say when people ask who is your child's father?
I would typically share my child's father's name if it's a straightforward question. If it's a more personal or sensitive situation, I might choose to use discretion in my response and share that information only with those I feel comfortable with.
What is the illumination required for children's bedroom?
I am assuming you are talking about a low watt bulb in a lamp or a night light. Children often don't like being in the dark and often will imagine things (shapes in darkened corners) or they may have nightmares. It also gives the parents the opportunity to check on the child without turning lights on and waking them up. We all crave light because it makes us feel safe because we can see everything. I know adults that have to have a night light in their room.
Does a child at age 13 have to visit a parent with visitation rights in North Carolina?
Yes. The non custodial parent has every right to see his or her child. And there is a huge misconception that a child can decide which parent they prefer to live with or decide they don't want to visit the other parent when they reach a certain age. The fact is, it is NOT the child's decision to make, but the judge's.
So unless the non custodial parent has been found unfit, abusive, etc., the child has to concede to the visitation rights.
Furthermore, the custodial parent should encourage the child to want to visit with the other parent. Children need both parents, and no parent should ever be deprived of spending time with their child unless they are unfit, abusive, etc.
Why should fathers not be held accounted for his child's success or failure?
Fathers should not solely be held accountable for their child's success or failure because parenting is a shared responsibility. The outcomes of a child's life are influenced by various factors, such as genetics, environment, education, and personal choices. Blaming or crediting only the father disregards the contributions of other individuals, including the mother, extended family, teachers, and the child themselves. It is more effective and fair to recognize the collective effort and support that shapes a child's development.
How can fathers be made to see their children?
This is a complicated question. By sayin MADE to see their children it sounds like they don't want to and if that's tyhe case, then nothing short of a court order of change of heart is going to effect that. However, if you mean how can a father see his chilkdren, and you not being allowed to then get a court order ordering visitation.
Do you have to have a DNA test to lagetimize a child?
That depends on the law where you live. In most places, signing the birth certificate or your name otherwise appearing on it as the father is enough to legitimize a child. In other states, that isn't enough and the father has to sign papers and file them in court to legitimize their child and/or undergo a court ordered paternity test. Providing your state (or country, if outside the USA) would help us to provide you with an accurate answer.
I am not a legal professional, but generally, child support is determined based on the financial needs of the child and the income of both parents. If the court has determined that your daughter is still in need of financial support despite living with you, they may have the authority to order you to pay child support. It may be beneficial to consult with a family law attorney to understand your specific situation and explore any available legal options.
If mom leaves state can the father push for sole custody?
Yes, but you would have to prove that the child is better off in your custody. Check with a lawyer to review your rights. See if you could work it out with her also.
If she leaves the child behind, yes. If she doesn't, first file an injunction ordering the child be returned. But, be prepared to be hit with a false allegation. By doing that, the other state can take jurisdiction as the VAWA overrides the UCJAA. By the time you prove it false, the UCJAA kicks in and the state still has jurisdiction.

Just say "Dad, I love you very much. I love Mom too, and I think I would be happier living with her. I would like to spend as much time with you as possible, but I would prefer to live with Mom. Maybe when I am older I will feel differently, and if so I will say so."
Is admitted drug use grounds for losing custody?
The determination of custody is a complex legal matter that varies depending on jurisdiction and specific circumstances. Generally, drug use can have a negative impact on a person's ability to retain custody, particularly if it is deemed to endanger the child's welfare or safety. However, each case is evaluated on an individual basis, taking into account multiple factors such as the frequency and severity of drug use, the presence of a safe environment for the child, and the parent's ability to provide for their child's wellbeing.
To become a legal guardian in North Carolina, you need to file a petition for guardianship with the clerk of court in the county where the child resides. The mother can voluntarily consent to the guardianship and sign a consent form. A hearing will then be set, where the court will review the case and determine if it is in the child's best interest for you to be appointed as the legal guardian.
What do you need to bring to courthouse for temporary custody?
Call your local family service agency as they can help you or call your district court administration office. Do not appear in court without your proper paper work. It is not up to the court to find and provide what is necessary.
If a step parent remarries after death my mother can the kids contest a will?
The question is unclear as to to exactly whom the questioner is referring. It appears as if the scenario is: That their step-father died - the step-mother re-married - and they want to contest the deceased step-father's will.
The question is do you have legal "standing" to contest the will.
If they were legally adopted they MAY have 'standing' to question the will. However if the deceased made a conscious decision to omit them from his will, they probably cannot prevail.
You should consult an attorney practicing in your state for further information
