Do kids become less valuable to parents after the parents divorce?
Filed Under Parenting | 6 Comments
Dars asked:
For example if a husband and wife divorce, their kids are constant reminders of their ex. Maybe they have good reasons to really **** their ex. The kids are made from the ex though. They may look and act like the ex. Even if they don’t, they’re constant reminders of a troubled past.

Sometimes there are news stories about people who kill their kids after divorce. Some men go psycho after divorce and kill their (ex) family. Some women meet a new man but the man sees the kids as obstacles, then the woman or man kills the kids.

Can I take custody of my child if I am on probation for a drug charge?
Filed Under Parenting | 10 Comments
Lucky asked:
The mothers house is absolutely filthy, with roaches and an unclean monkey. The mother pawns him off on everybody, while I would have somebody to take care of him permanently. We are not married yet but plan to do so. I don’t know whether the mother uses the child support money I give her for the things he needs. Today she asked for twenty dollars extra so she could get him some new clothes when I bought him clothes just last week. I will add more details later, but believe me when I say the place is filthy. I am on probation for a drug charge currently. I make more money than she does, and she is diagnosed as bi-polar. Please help!
(I am actually writing this for the father, who is my significant other - which explains why my avatar is female. I will be the one to take care of the boy while he works.)

My life is now complete PWKRJC! asked:
I am wanting to go to court so I can have a paper in front of me telling me when my Son will be with me and when my Son will be with his Father because I cant stand not knowing when my Son’s Father is going to call and ask for him again. So my question is when you went to court for custody what was the outcome how much did you have your child and how much did the other parent have them? I know that prices are different everywhere but I would like to know how much you had to pay for a lawyer. Thank you for your time.

Divorce Law
Filed Under Parenting | Comments Off
Patricia Woloch asked:
in the United States are legal contracts between a husband and a wife. While you might simply leave your spouse, if something were to happen to either of you, the other might be liable for debt, or inherit money that you don’t want to allow your spouse to have. A divorce is the way to legally dissolve a marriage and split shared assets. Although divorces are emotionally taxing, most of them are resolved amicably and not in bitterly contested court proceedings.
There are the basic types of divorce:
1. No-fault
2. Fault
3. Summary divorce
No-Fault
If neither partner contests the grounds for a divorce it is considered a no-fault divorce. You both want to dissolve the marriage and move on without laying blame or guilt on the other. Over the last thirty-five years, no-fault divorce has become the dominant basis for divorce. In many marriages, the relationship may be over for several months, the husband and wife are already living separately, and a no-fault divorce simply puts a legal stamp on the new arrangement.
No-fault divorces are more civil than other divorces. Usually, “irreconcilable differences” are cited as the reason for dissolution. The no-fault option is emotionally easier on you. The courts recognize that sometimes marriages fail and there is no reason to get into a heated battle just to part ways. Currently, all 50 states allow no-fault divorces.
Fault
Only thirty-two states presently have laws recognizing fault in some divorce cases. Some of the grounds for seeking a fault divorce may include:
• Adultery
• Physical abuse
• Mental abuse
• Attempted murder
• Drug use
• Impotency
Finding fault in one spouse may affect child custody and division of property. It may also provide an emotional release for one party to find fault in the dissolution of the marriage by being able to blame the spouse.
Summary divorce
Most states offer another option to couples without a lot of baggage involved in the relationship. A summary divorce can be granted to couples with no children and little property to dispute.
Some of the benefits to a summary divorce include:
• Less paperwork to file
• Fewer court appearances
• Easy negotiations
When children are involved
One of the hardest parts about dissolving a marriage is how it affects the children. Often children do not understand why parents are getting divorced and may feel that they are partially to blame. It is important to work with your spouse to minimize the conflict of the divorce and establish as stable a home environment as soon as possible.
In many cases, you and your spouse will work together to determine the best arrangement for your children. If that is not possible, you may want to retain an experienced divorce attorney to help you mediate a good working arrangement. Remember this stage of the process is vital to the emotional well being of your children and should not become bitter and divisive.
If you and your spouse cannot agree to custody and child support arrangements, the court will step in and base their decisions in the child’s best interest. Most states will lean toward allowing the mother physical custody of the children, and assess child support to the father. If the mother is proven incapable of parenting, the courts may decide for the father. Regardless, it is best to work these issues out with your spouse ahead of time so the court doesn’t have to step in.
Dissolving a marriage is a big step in life that should not be taken lightly. Even if you are certain that you can no longer live with your spouse, be prepared for an emotionally draining process, especially when children are involved.
