Custody Issues / RE: My Cust.Eval Report has more ?'s than answers ??
Aug 13, 2008, 11:15:33 AM
i'm confused....is there a reason to question the evaluation?
it seems to me you are beating a dead horse.
do you not wish for your child to enjoy equal time with both parents?
is the other parent a danger to the child that makes the 50/50 arrangement a problem?

be sure the documentation/journals include contact with the children... attempted contact, bail out on visits, etc... dates, times, very factual.
it is very difficult for the other party refute this info in court when she can site dates, times, quotes, etc...
i will do more digging...

Father's Issues / PA law and Prior contact
Oct 19, 2008, 01:12:51 PM
Grandparent Rights to Visitation: Visitation may be granted when at least one of the parents of the child is deceased, when the parents' marriage is dissolved or the parents have been separated for six months or more, or when the child has resided with the grandparents for twelve months or more and is subsequently removed from the home by his parents. The court must find that the visitation is in the best interest of the child and will not interfere with the parent-child relationship and must consider the amount of personal contact between the child and the grandparent prior to the application. Title 23, Section 5311 (23 Pa.C.S.A. § 5311 et seq.).

Father's Issues / RE: Grandparents visitation

jurisdiction PA? if so, not good...
i'm afraid they may have a chance with the bf deceased.
i agree with sherry.... beg, borrow, steal.
do background checks on all family members. maybe something will turn up.
she should try to do everything in her power to document the drug and alcohol issues with the grandparents to show that it would not be in the children's best interest to grant visitation.... at least non-supervised visitation.
Generally, grandparents can seek partial custody or visitation of their minor grandchildren in one of three circumstances: (1) if either of the child's or children's parents are deceased; (2) if the parents have never married, are married but separated for more than six months, or are divorced; or (3) the grandchildren have resided with the grandparents for more than 12 months and then were removed from the home.
Hiller v. Fausey - PA Supreme Court held that the PA Grandparent Visitation Statutes which allow grandparents to seek partial custody or visitation with their minor grandchildren are constitutional and rejected the argument that the PA Grandparent Visitation Statute violates the custodial parent's Due Process rights under the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution. The PA Supreme Court held the PA Grandparent Visitation statute constitutional even after consideration of a fit parent's rights regarding the care, custody, and control of their minor children. PA Supreme Court refuses to find the statute violates the US Constitution as in the Troxel v. Grandville case from Washington state.
