If the department of children and families has let you down, the next step could be consulting with a family law attorney to explore legal options. They can guide you on gathering evidence supporting your claim of your ex-husband's unfitness for visitation, such as documented incidents or witnesses. The attorney can then help you file a motion with the court presenting this evidence and requesting a modification of the visitation arrangement.
Mixing and pouring are good for all ages. Cracking and scrambling egss is just about a treat for kids (adults should search for eggshells before you use them). Microwaving, then low-heat pan searing, then higher heat, then use of the oven, then boiling liguids, and then deep oil.
What is the time line for child abandonment for a non custodial parent? My husband was given temporary full custody of a three year old and five year old in December 2008. The mother was only allowed to have supervised visitation. She maintained off and on contact until May 2009. She has not called or made any attempt to contact the girls since May. How long do we have to wait to file abandonment?
Legal Age There are very few states in the U.S. with legal minimum ages for children home alone, but many state agencies have published guidelines. Georgia, Illiniois, Maryland and Oregon are a few of the states with specific ages mentioned in their laws.
12 years of age appears to be the most common recommendation. Below in Related Links is an article entitled Home Alone Children Legal Age Limits which provides a guideline listing by state. A California agency representative suggests that 8 year olds and over can be left at home for up to several hours (usually after school before a parent gets home from work). This site also provides a state by state comparison with references.
It is something you have to do together as a couple and set boundries and a budget. It is important that it is a group decision otherwise it can destroy your relationship. Dave Ramsey is on a radio show where I live and that man could work wonders for you he has a book you might be interested in.
The anecdotes offered above are very helpful. The advice is the same for either a mother or father traveling alone with a child. If you are traveling alone with your child you should be aware that concerns about parental abductions have made border officials more vigilant when they find a child traveling alone with one parent. You should be prepared to produce documentation such as a letter of authorization or travel consent signed by the other parent. In some countries you may not be asked for it. In others, you will be detained until your authorization can be reviewed by officials. The child may even be questioned about the other parent. You should also note that you may have trouble re-entering the country of origin.
In the United States new requirements have been added in response to child abductions and trafficking. To get a passport your child must apply in person with:
A parent traveling abroad with their child must provide U.S immigration officials with a notarized consent from the other parent for the child to travel abroad. You should consult an attorney to have the proper documentation prepared.
She is committing adultery and involving her children. It is unlikely the court would support her actions while she is still married. The court may award custody to their father. She should file for divorce if she wants child support.
Yes. The custodial parent is required to obey the court order or face sanctions that may eventually include loss of custody. The non-custodial parent must stay on top of the situation and file a motion for contempt of a court order. It is extremely difficult to contend with a non-compliant parent and the most difficulty is experienced by the child. Courts do not take that type of behavior lightly.

No, this decision is made by the judge, not the child or the parents. However, if you or your custodial parent feels it is not safe or if the non-custodial parent is emotionally abusive, etc., then you can have your attorney file a motion to have visitation stopped. But it will not be granted unless you have very good, valid reasons for requesting no visitation with the parent.
But before doing something this drastic, I suggest you examine your reasons for wanting to stop the visitation, and be very honest. If you want to stop visitation for the wrong reasons, this may very well cause irreparable damage between you and your other parent. And if that parent loves you and is good to you, think how devestating that will be to them.
Also, if the parent with whom you do reside is encouraging you to not see your other parent anymore, and if the other parent is good to you, then you need to go by what you feel and know, not by someone who may just want revenge on the other parent.
Not if the father is doing his fatherly duties for the children, and causing the children no harm or pain. But if he is then yes, also if she sees the father unfit and suspects harm is being done in which case it should be taken to court.
a child in tribal custody has asked to speak with the judge of the tribe. Does the child have the right to do that?
There are two options. The child can be reliquished to the care of juvenile social services and become a ward of the court. Or a private attorney who specializes in adoption and is registered as such with the court of jurisdiction. Some states allow private adoption agencies which are licensed and bonded by the state, to assist both the adoptive parents and the parent(s) who is giving up custody.
If you mean in a sexual way absolutely not!
If you mean sharing a bed until you have fixed her a bed of her own because you just moved in after the divorce it's OK for a night or 2. I would recommend you get a mattress on the floor to sleep on while she's there though. She will need her own space if this will be your new home. A bed of her won is at least what she can expect I think.
As an alternative, why not ask for Joint Physical Custody of your parents?
Tell them that you want to remain in a home, and each of them there for three weeks, than switch. Once night a week, the parent not in residence takes you out to dinner or some other activity. While in the home, the resident parent does not date, or have overnight guests, other than relatives.
On the off weeks, the parent rents a room, stays with relatives, their friends, or they can split the cost of a two bedroom apartment, with each having their own bedroom.
The priority here is you not having your life disrupted by their choice not to be together. Their lives are equally disrupted and they split the cost of your home.
The support amounts each parent are obligated to provide for your care can go into a TRUST FUND. From the trust fund, expenses for the home and your standard expenses, are paid.
All this follows in accordance with federal laws dating back 100 years as regards Trust Funds that have been established for guardians to draw from when parents have been killed in an accident. Also in cases involving child stars (The Coogan Act-1939) where the law is designed to prevent their parents from spending the money for their own uses.
Any money left in the account would collect interest and be available for emergencies, or special expenses, such as part of the cost of a car, or a college education.
This is called Bird Nest Custody. YOU STAY IN THE NEST THE BIRDS TAKE TURNS BEING THERE.
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It,'s harmful and cruel. And the parents would be arrested.
the reason my mom barely let me hang out with my friends was that she was too scared to watch her little boy turn into a teenager, she also wanted to protect me from the world which she considered a dark place, and at the age I as at she knew I was most vulnerable and susceptible to it all.
The long and short of it is, I'm pretty sure she's just trying to protect you, how real the need for never letting you hang out is though I don't know!
she needs to let you find your own feet and learn from mistakes that you're not going to make if she just keeps you in the house all the time.
In Florida, what is taken into consideration is the custodial AND non-custodial parents income. An affidavit is filed in court (for the hearing), to accurately provide the financial information on both parents. Those numbers need to be verified and are used to determine the custodial parents' financial obligation for all expenses regarding the childrens' needs AND the non-custodial parents' obligation for the same. Usually 49% and 51% respectively. For example: Custodial parents' income is higher than non-custodial. 4 teenagers in High School (no daycare) with higher than normal expenses for food, clothing etc. No medical issues require a total of $1200/month to raise. Custodial parent- 49%= $588 (doesnt have to be paid because you have kids) Non-custodial parent-51%= $612 (you are "awarded" this amount) IF SHE EVEN PAYS

A higher education level can produce a better outcome, but not necessarily so. More educated parents can also be extremely contentions during a divorce by letting their hatred for one another, custody issues and their desire not to pay child support their main focus. The most important characteristic a good parent must have is the ability to place their child's needs above their own needs. That single factor would make life go better for a child of divorce.
No kids should not be allowed to divorce parents. They should be allowed to make them up. Divorce is a big decision and i not taken by children.
No. A child does not have the right to ignore court ordered visitation.
A parent who assists the child would be in contempt of court.
