CHILDREN AND FAMILY LAW
Children are impacted by many aspects of Family Law. Most of the time,
that impact is negatively, particularly when:
-
Mom and Dad are getting a divorce and the children feel
it's their fault.
-
Dad and Mom have a fight, it gets physical and the
children witness the domestic violence.
-
The parents are frequently
squabbling over "little" things.
-
Mom and Dad are already divorced, but there is so much
animosity and bitterness between them that the children become alienated
against one parent or the other.
-
Dad has custody of the children and Mom is supposed to
pay child support. If Mom is late with her payments, Dad talks badly
about her in front of the children or argues with her in their presence.
-
Dad's late with the child support. He shows up to
see the kids and Mom refuses to permit him to have visitation with them.
-
Mom remarries and her new husband gets transferred to
France. She and Dad have joint custody of the children, but she is the
"primary residential custodian". Mom decides to move to France with
the children and her new husband, which effectively cuts off Dad's
opportunities to see his children on a regular basis.
