Grandparents raised their children and they are now raising their grandchildren due to the explosion of drug addiction. Often the choice is a Guardianship or DHS custody of their grandchildren. Grandparents are burdened with retirement income and growing, young children. Often Grandparents are forced to go back to work to provide for their grand-kids.
The beautiful thing about Grandparents' Guardianship is that I have never met grandparents that would change their decision to take care of their grandchildren. They provide their grandchildren with a home, food, medical care, stability and most of all-Love. Often these children feel abandoned by their parents and are emotionally scarred by what they have been through. These children may need counseling and tutoring to resume a natural childhood.
Legal Guides by a family law attorney are a summaries on some of the issues. A custody lawyer can help with the Custody determination of a child-right and the obligation to make decision about a child's upbringing.
Sole Custody
A parent awarded sole legal custody will make decisions about the child's school, religious upbringing and medical care etc. A sole custodian has a duty to keep the non custodial parent informed of all decisions regarding the child or children.
Joint Custody
Both parents should be able to communicate and to work together to determine the best interest of their children. There should be a primary joint custodian awarded because of the parents can't agree- a final decision must be made.
Split Custody
In situations where the parents reside in different states, courts may award school year custody to one parent and summer time custody to the other parent.
Jointly acquired assets and debts are equitably distributed at the time of a Final Order. Joint assets and debts are those acquired during the marriage. The name on the asset or debt does not determine ownership; it the date of acquisition and the source of the funds.
Property acquired during the marriage from inheritance or increases from separate (prior to marriage) assets are usually not distributed at the time of the Final Order. The exception occurs when the parties have 'commingled' their separate property. Examples of property that may subject toe equitable distribution include real property, cars, bank accounts, pensions, 401K, stocks, furniture, etc.
Gifts received from family, friends and from the parties are not subject to equitable distribution.
Parenting time or Visitation Schedule is a separate and legal concept from Custody. A non-custodial parent may have equal parenting time with his/her child or standard visitation. Joint Custodian may have standard visitation. Visitation Schedule will include Regular, Holiday and Summer.
Parents are not necessarily married. If parents are not married then it maybe become necessary for a custody lawyer to file an action referred to as Paternity Petition. In a paternity action the parents are legally determined, custody and parenting schedules are ordered. In paternity actions any assets or debts acquired by the parents cannot be distributed in the action. Family law attorney will help you through these proceedings.
