You met Dave and began dating five years ago and during this time you became pregnant and gave birth to your son, Luke. Two years after he was born Dave ended your relationship which he claimed was having too many problems and was irreconcilable. This left you heartbroken, but he wanted to still be a father and you both agreed to an arrangement where you would share custody and alternate weekly custody and have him on alternating holidays. You agreed to this without having the courts involved because it would be expensive to hire an attorney and you did not want to go through a custody battle. This arrangement was working fine until just over a year ago when Dave started dating a woman, Denise. This bothered you as you saw that he was moving

The lawyers highly support a joint custody that would benefit the child. The lawyers argue the case on two different aspects.
This claim allowed the agency to seize the mother’s baby when she gave birth prior to the initial case being disposed of, despite there being no actual evidence that she would neglect the baby. Throughout the entirety of dealing with the agency I had been helping the mother through the emotional turmoil. My own involvement led to emotions from years before rekindling between the mother and myself, and leaving us believing that the baby which was removed may have been mine. We went through everything together as if I were the father, until paternity testing revealed that I was not. Despite learning of the paternity results; I was already emotionally bonded to both the mother and the child. Because of the extremely emotional state of things, it took quite some time before we returned to not being intimate & ultimately we did conceive our own child before reaching that point. During the time they had her second child in custody, the mother lost the apartment we had gotten her through State Assistance because “there was no children in the home”. The loss of her apartment gave the agency the final strike to use against her in court, and they petitioned the court for Termination of Parental Rights. It was this course of events that prompted

His father and I separated a little after he turned 1 years old and he is now 10 years old. I don’t receive any financial support from his father except when he feels like sending what he wants, which is usually no more than $60 at a time maybe once or twice a year. I have planned for my son’s upbringing since he was born and I have made sacrifices to ensure that he is afforded a life in which he can succeed. I have done almost everything that involves rearing your child alone. I don’t plan on taking my son away from him because my son loves his Dad and I would never step in the middle of that. However, I don’t feel that he should have any say so on what goes in my household because he provides little to no help emotionally, financially or
Child relocation laws and best practices in the United States vary from state to state. Child custody in Arizona is defined as “legal decision-making” for the child and visitation is known as “parenting time”. The term “child custody” is no longer used, effective January 1, 2013. The court can order one or both parties to have legal decision-making authority for the child(ren) and consider many factors, falling under A.R.S. 25-403.

Let's look at some examples of employment and how they may factor into your custody battle.
Take a moment to think about this: you and your significant other just took the step to become parents. Though you are young, you both believed it was time and went ahead and brought a baby into your lives. Staring at your baby and your spouse with loving eyes, you do not think life can get any better. However blissful life may seem, things soon come crashing down. You and your significant other work average wage jobs and are having a hard-enough time supporting each other, and now the cost of diapers, clothes, furniture, formula and baby food are creeping in on you and sucking the life out of your bank account. You want to spend time with your new bundle of joy, but suddenly, your baby is being ripped out of your hands and being sent to an

During the nine months that I was pregnant, I prepared myself for the arrival of Freddrick. The one thing I did know is that I wouldn’t have any type of financial help with Freddrick because his father had no idea, or clue how to take care of his self, nor less a son that was
I was not working at the time, so I had very little money and his father only paid child support when he decided to, or when the courts forced him to pay. It is a very scary feeling to be on your own with a little guy who depended on me for his every need. His dad comes and goes in and out of his life whenever he feels the need to without any
