COLORADO: Richard Heene’s idiocy could cost him his kids
Balloon Boy. When dads do idiotic things like perpetrate a hoax on the country and law enforcement and pretend that their 6 year old is trapped in an airborne balloon, it shouldn't come as a big surprise to them that they could lose custody of their kids to Child Welfare Services and even go to prison. Richard Heene was a threefold idiot. He [...]
AFGHANISTAN: Arianna Huffington on Sharia Law and the best interest of the child
Always provocative, Arianna Huffington had an interesting blog post today. She suggested that Vice President Biden should resign. Very provocative, eh? But that was not what interested me. What interested me was what she said about The Sharia Personal Status Law and custody of children (and the fate of women) in Afghanistan: Sharia Law with [...]

HAMPTONS, NY: Does Christie Brinkley and Peter Cook need to go to divorce school for the sake of the kids?
I was reading a few divorce blogs and other media today and I found this one article on the Palm Beach Post.com which was interesting: http://www.palmbeachpost.com/search/content/shared-gen/ap/National/FEA_Parenting_Divorce_Class.html I thought it might be something that Christie Brinkley and Peter Cook could explore. Either that or divorce [...]
NEW YORK: What is Parental alienation?
Like the rest of the country, when parties divorce in New York sometimes they don't play nice where the kids are concerned. Parental alienation is the worse offense a former spouse can commit against another. It has to do when one parent turns the children against the other one by habitually bad-mouthing the parent, involving the children in the [...]

New York Divorce attorney on SPLIT CUSTODY
I have been thinking about this topic since the Jon and Kate Gosselin situation. I have often wondered whether the court would order a split custody arrangement for them. So what is split custody? In my experience split custody has to do with families having more than one child(ren). The court is called upon to decide if it is in the best [...]
JAPAN: American father arrested for kidnapping his kids in Japan
The Palm Beach Post ran a story today about an American father from Tennessee who was arrested in Japan for trying to "kidnap" his children. The man, Christopher Savoie, tried to grab his 8 year old son and 6 year old daughter as they arrived at their school in Japan and almost made it to the U.S. consulate when he was nabbed by Japanese [...]
Your spouse asked for a divorce even though you have multiples (babies, that is)?
What to do when you have multiples and your spouse asks for a divorce? You must have a lot of days filled with melancholy, at best, if you've been served with divorce papers and you have, like triplets (or more children from a multiple birth) to care for. I mean, honestly, as a human being, I don't understand that. I think it should be [...]
When divorce leaves you and the kids homeless
Sometimes, divorce leaves a parent homeless. It may not happen right away, but over time, (and not such a long time) a custodial parent could find themselves unable to pay the rent or mortgage and end up without a home. And when that happens, the kids' lives are in peril pretty quick. This happens not so much in high net worth cases (like, say, [...]
The Obama girls Sasha and Malia head to the White House: How can Michelle and Barack safeguard their marriage and kids in a Twitter world? 10 tips for coping in the fishbowl
I was just perusing the Wealth Report article, 10 Things wealthy parents should leave their kids besides money. It was authored by Peter White. It made me think of the Obamas for some reason, especially their daughters. I don't think that even on their best day they could ever be properly prepared for the level of scrutiny they are about to [...]
Jaycee Dugard + Divorce and child kidnapping
Jaycee Dugard was an 11 year old California girl who was kidnapped 18 years ago at age 11 and forced to be a sex slave to a California sex offender and his wife. (At the time her step father aka custodial parent was a suspect and this reportedly strained and destroyed his marriage to Jaycee's mother.) Now, 29, and mother of two (by her [...]

Octomom Nadya Suleman’s octuplets to get a guardian?
A California judge has brought Octomom and her brood one step closer to getting a financial guardian. The judge did not dismiss a petition for a financial guardian that had been brought on behalf of the babies, by a perfect stranger. (Nadya's attorneys requested a dismissal.) Instead, the judge has given the case the go ahead. That means [...]
Do you think your parents should get a divorce?
If you're like me, you are practically what Candy Spelling would call "middle aged" and your parents have been married long before you could say candy. You also would probably become unhinged if they ever got, er, divorced. Right? I can't imagine such a thing. I mean, I am old enough and jaded enough and damaged enough to know that there is [...]
The Inglorious “Bastards”…get the same child support as wedlock kids
Do you know the law used to be different in terms of child support for children born in wedlock, and "bastards" those born out of wedlock? Thank god that has changed and that all children are treated equally for the most part. I mean, in New York, a child born in wedlock does have a higher standard in the sense that the court can look to the [...]
