Connecticut case, the Supreme Courts ruled that the Constitution protected a right to privacy and struck down a law, which prohibited the use and distribution of contraceptives, on the basis that it violated the "right to marital privacy". This case was one of the first to make the Federal government's jurisdiction grow to encompass some Family Law. The First Amendment rights brought family privacy under Federal Responsibility. What was the significance of this case and what other details played a fundamental role? | |
| | family law/ visitation | | My son was taken from me and his dad has custody now, he is not following the court order that we have right now for visitation so I was told to take him to family court and i have filed a petition and we go to court dec.4. I just got a letter from his lawyer and basically he is lying and is trying to get where I dont see my son at all. I still have all my rights to my son. I dont have a lawyer for this but I do have all the documents to prove him wrong. Should i get a lawyer or can I get one appointed to me for this? | |
| | family law | | I cant see this happening but I just have to ask. Does anybody have to pay child support that equals more than their income.
Now the moral part. What is more important giving money to the X for child support, or giving direct support to the child in the form of simple parenting. In my observations here in Canada family law is interested in the money first and foremost before dealing with any other issues. This process takes more than a year, giving the person with custody the right to withhold the child from the payor. this sounds like legalized extortion on the govs part and kidnapping for the X. what do you think. | |
| | Family Law - False Accusations od Child Sexual Abuse/Cruelty and Neglect | | Having been falsely accused of incest by Dr Moira Woods 20 years ago I am still waiting to get my case into open court. I was never investigated by social workers or the gardai nor was I ever reported to the gardai. The Fitness to Practise Committee of the Irish Medical Council found Dr Woods guilty of professional misconduct (the making of false accusations of child sexual abuse) four years ago. Still I and others involved in the Medical Council Inquiry are still waiting for justice.What does one have to do to bring the Moira Woods child sex abuse scandal into the public domain. In effect, Dr Woods and her ilk have been airbrushed from history leaving thousands of falsely accused victims in her wake. | |
| | Should a bill be passed giving grandparents the right to visitation nationally? | | In Iowa the house passed a right to petition the courts for visitation to their grandchildren. This is not the case in every state. There is a national organization in Michigan that is trying to further the rights of grandparents and a new site in Iowa that you can go to at http://dragonladydvmurphy.tripod.com that informs the public about this debate between parents, grandparents and the courts. Personally as a grandparent I believe we are also important to our grandchildren. | |
| | A law question for my family | | Ok I am asking a very important question for me and my family.. Ok I am pregnant and I am married... but when I got pregnant my husband and I were not together and I was seeing someone else.. so there is chance that my husband is not the father.. but he is sighning the birthcertificate because soon after we got back together and he said this was his baby... but the other guy kept telling me that he is getting custody.. and there would be hell to pay if my husband signed the birthcertificate and he was going to call cps and have them take my other two kids... This has scared me so much.. I can't even enjoy being pregnant.. and the bad thing is we don't have the money for a lawyer if something happens.. So what do I do.. how do I handle this.. this other guy hurt me, and made me realize what I was missing in my husband...I don't want him in my life | |
| | I'm COMPLETELY Confused!!! | | I have a son from a previous relationship, and the father has been wanting to not pay child support, so I've been trying to find information about it. I've had a paralegal tell me that there is a difference between custodial rights and parental rights, if he signed away one he wouldn't have visitation or anything like that but he'd still have to pay child support, and if he signed away the other one he wouldn't have to pay child support either. Then I've called lawyers to talk to them about it, and they say that there has to be an adoptive parent for him to sign away his rights. My parents go to church with some judges and the judges say that it is up to the courts if he can or cannot sign away his right or not. I live in Missouri, and I've been trying to look it up for myself, but I just keep getting answers for other states. I don't really care about the child support, in fact, most of the time I don't get any. Does anybody have any idea which is right? And in order for him to do it, does there really have to be an adoptive parent? Also, can they force him to sign away his rights, he already doesn't have anything to do with my son, by his choice. | |
| | DHS Denying Grandmother to Even See New Born Baby Born 11/2008 | | I run the www.iowagrandparentsrights.com organization online and was contacted this morning by a grandmother who is being denied any contact with her new infant grandchild. Her son became involved with a woman who was all ready in trouble with DHS for drugs and had all ready lost for of her children to the state. They had this new baby in November and the state took the child away from her. The Father, this grandmother's son, will not sign papers to let his mother raise the child so DHS will not even let her see or visit the child. The grandmother says her son has a drinking problem. The grandmother wants to raise the child and DHS says that if the Father will not sign the papers that she can't raise the child or have any contact. DHS is in fact making sure that this grandmother is not able to create a bond with the child so she has no rights for what is in the best interest of the child and would have no recourse in petitioning the courts for grandparents rights to visitation and custody. Do you think that what DHS is doing is right for the child and that the grandmother has no rights as a grandparent? I think it is just plain and simple DHS grasping this infant for adoption... | |
| | What do you do when parents are disinterested??? | | A 16-year-old girl Asha, came to work as a helper in our home. A very sweet natured, loving, affectionate girl. She is very petite in nature. She has her parents, a drunkard father, a hardworking mother who is stuck to her father because of the little property that she can keep for her children, a younger sister and a younger brother. Asha just failed her class 10 exams and plans to take up the exams again in March 2009. She's been with me for the past 6 months on and off and I've grown to love this girl.You might be wondering why I took her. If she went elsewhere, they would use her completely. Here with us she is like a daughter to me and a younger sister to my sons. My mother too is fond of her, though she ticks her off when wrong. She helps us around the house, she does a lot. At the same time, I make sure she wakes up early and study in the morning. She does help me a lot in the day time, relaxes in the noon, has a shower and again I let her study in the evenings. Her parents, though, are the biggest pain. She loves them, but they just keep taking her home every now and then, getting her to help there, like washing all their clothes, carrying water from a big distance... | |
