Parent
Question: Can the custodial parent determine who the child sees during the non-custodial parents time? The custodial parent in this case does not want the child to be around or see the non-custodial parents brother. This is not an issue of abuse, drugs or well anything of any negative nature. It is the fact that the custodial parent just simply does not like the brother. The custodial parent is now refusing to give up the children on the scheduled times to the non-custodial parent unless they do not see the brother. I am 100% certain he can not do this, agree?
Answer: Agreed!!
The custodial parent will be taken to court and will be forced to give up the kids on the scheduled times.
During those times, the other parent can do anything with anyone with the kids and the custodial can't say anything unless there's abuse, etc.
Question: How to stop a parent from unwittingly sabotaging a child? This is a parent who is not tactful. This parent will paint her child in very weak, gloomy, pitiful ways, hoping other people will feel pity and support and help the child. This is backfiring because this child is being disrespsected by other people because of what this parent is saying about this child. How to stop this parent? How to make this parent to be tactful?
Answer: The first thing you would have to do is convince the parent in question that you understand why they do what they're doing. Now, this is not what it seems. For instance, if they truly have malicious intent... you don't point that out. Point out all of the GOOD reasons why they might be doing what they're doing.
Once you can point out the good reasons they do the things they do, or convince them that they're doing things for the right reasons, and seem like you think they're a good person you can move on. This first step is often the hardest of convincing people of anything, but you have to earn their trust and respect of your opinion by first respecting them even on the same subject.
Next, don't point out flaws as absolute. "Doing this, while perhaps in the interest of your child for X reason..., i FEEL.. MAY cause this bad side-effect. If that's the case, this could be harmful for your child." They key is getting them to question themselves, not just listen to what you have to say.
Still, depending on the circumstances this can be extremely difficult, if not impossible to do. Some people are just conservative in nature. In 'conservative' i mean unwilling to accept change even when there is substantial evidence that they should. People fear change, parents too. Also, some parents do have malacious intent... which is rather hard to get around. If they're jealous of their child... other than simply battling jealousy... your best bet would be to convince them, -indirectly-, that they should be jealous of other people's great parenting instead, for instance. That way they'll try harder to care for their child instead of pull them down. You'd be surprised how much parents do this, really...
Question: How liable is the parent of a 13 year old babysitter in the case of an accident resulting in injury? Parents are divorced, one parent arranges for young teen to babysit alone for periods of 5 huours or more, without other parent's consent. Teen has not been formally trained on CPR or anything. What if something happens? Are both parents liable?
Answer: Whomever is the custodial parent - unless equal custody was granted- would be responsible. If equal custody, equal responsibility.
The only way around this is to have something in writting - signed by both parents and a notary - stating that you do not take responsibility since you do not feel the 13 year old is qualified to babysit. If the other parent continues to allow the 13 year old to babysit, he/she take on all of the responsibility and you should be in the clear.
Question: How can a noncustodial parent find out if the daughter is safe if the custodial is marrying? The custodial parent is getting married to someone that the noncustodial parent didn't even know about let alone the engagedment. How can the custodial parent make sure the daughter is safe and have a criminal background check on the person who the custodial parent is marrying to?
Answer: can't do anything about it until a situation possibly comes up;; I know ya worry cuz ya don't know what's happening, but the courts will tell ya it's the other one's business who he(she) hangs around with, & that because he(she) is the parent, will subsequently be the candidate to look out for the child's "best interest"..so again, can't do anything about it unless something LEGAL happens..sorry..stinks huh??
Question: How should a parent handle a teen who is expelled from two different high schools? How should the parent handle the situation? Should the parent yell, or should the parent talk to the teen calmly? Opinions, please
Answer: find out why they were expelled?
were they acting up?
were they always being the clas clown?
did they get good grades or are they struggling to keep up?
Are they acting up BECAUSE they are struggling?
Find out why they are struggling and get it remedied if at all possible. Maybe they have an undiagnosed learning disorder. Maybe they are very smart and just BORED in class.
Hitting and yelling does not help. You will just create an angry resentful teenager who hates you even more.
Please TALK to them and ask questions and tell then that you GENUINELY want to help.
BUT first you must apologise for any previous yelling or hitting you may have done. That will go a long way to getting them talk to you.
Question: What can a parent do with a 15 yo who refuses to go to school? What options if any, does a parent of a 15 yo in texas who refuses to go to school have? The school does not provide any consequences except for 3 days of sac. All absences are being counted as unexcused, which will later drag the parent to court. The child also leaves home for days at a time. All her privileges have been taken away including her cell phone. What can a parent do according to Texas law?
Answer: Call the police and have her picked up for unruliness .
Then talk with some one in juvenile court about pressing further charges .
I know this is the last thing a parent wants to have to do but some times it is for their own good .
I was faced with a similar problem only my daughter was 13 .
After admitting her in to the hospital for drug testing and talking with the court system and them threatening to haul her butt off to a detention center she realized I was serious and straightened her butt up .
It nearly killed me to do that but I had to tell myself it is either this or I will eventually be called down to identify her body .
I also told myself that I would much rather have her hate me for the rest of her life than to not be here at all .
I fought long and hard but it paid off .
It is a very tough decision that you are going to have to make and you have my sympathy , but like I said it is either this or prepare yourself for the likelihood that you may be called in to identify her .
It is time she received a good healthy dose of tough love .
Best of luck to you . My thoughts and prayers are with you .
Question: What happens when a parent who has custody of their children gives their children to the grandparent to raise? Well, my father has legal and physical custody of us, but we are living with our grandmother instead of our father. He comes to visit us every 2 weeks because he doesn't want to raise us.
Can my mother regain custody of us since my father hasn't made any attempt to raise us? Is it possible? We are so tire of our parents being part-time parents. We would like to our mother to have us so that we can have at least one full time parent.
So, would a judge grant my mother physical custody? Especially since she has her life together and she keeps us during summer breaks.
Answer: It's up to your Mom to make a move if she would like to have custody. She must file with the Court. In most states, the wishes of children at least 12-14 years of age hold a lot of weight in custody hearings; so, if you're old enough, you can help her regain custody.
Before you do anything about this, though, think long and hard. If your mother has had some big problems like drugs or alcohol, it might be very difficult living with her. If your living situation with your grandparents is solid, you might want to just stay where you are. They must love you very much to step in and take care of you.
Good luck to you.

Question: What happens if a parent dies and their estate cannot pay for the balance of their debt? Can organizations like the IRS, banks, or credit card companies sue or force their children pay the debt? We have a parent who may be in such a situation; so without sounding incredibly cold hearted (we do love this parent very much, for the record) how do we protect ourselves in the future from this occurring? The parent has multiple children from a mixed family, i.e. there are half-brothers and step brothers etc., however we are easily the most financially sound of them all. P.S. No one is going to pass-on anytime soon.
Answer: Children are not legally or ethically liable for their parent's debt, although debt collectors will try to make you think you are. The only exception is if you cosigned a loan or credit card with them.
Question: Can a parent pay off a childs student loans with EE bonds? I know the answer is yes, but will the parent then not have to pay income tax when they cash them in? And would the child have to be claimed on the parent's tax return?
Answer: The parent can use the bonds for the child's education tax-exempt if the bonds were issued after 1989 and the child is listed as a dependent. There are some income limitations and you must report the child still as a dependent. The child's name can be listed on the bond as a beneficiary, but not as a co-owner. If it is listed as a co-owner, the child can redeem the bonds tax exempt for education.
In response to v b's answer, I was going out on a limb making an assumption that the student loans might have something to do with being a student, like tuition and books. If the child didn't have any qualified education expenses in 2007, you could not use the bonds tax exempt. The Publication mentioned is on the link below. Look at page 55-56. On page 57 is a wooksheet you can use for an example.
There is a lot more you can learn from reading the attached link.
Question: When is someone a parent in a homosexual relationship? When is someone a parent in a heterosexual relationship? Why does one require a contract, and another requires a DNA test.
Is that fair? Is it different being a parent legally and between being a parent biologically. Do the same laws and benefits apply to both?
Answer: They are the same regardless of the relationship...
Someone is a parent when they are genetically the parent or when they have adopted the child legally...
It stands to reason that an adoptive relationship doesnt require a DNA test...
Question: What should parents say to their children if that parent has posed nude in a magazine? Im just curious. I've never posed nude for a magazine and thank God that there are no naked pictures of me anywhere... But if that parent's child finds the compromising pictures (regardless of their efforts to keep them away) what is the best way to try explaining that away? Or trying to explain why. I'm just curious.
Answer: I having been a nude model since i was 18 years old, I am a mom now with a 2 year old son with my boyfriend and he has a 8 year old daughter and a four year son that lives with us, his daughter asked me what I do and I honestly told that I am a nude model and that I pose for magazines, artists, photographers, and art classes, she thinks it is cool what I do. I am not ashamed of what I do.

Question: Why cant a parent send baked goods to school for a birthday? For a childs birthday children are not allowed to bring in home baked items. But why is it when their is parent tacher conferences the schools ask for parents to bring in food. That can be made at home?
Answer: This law started back when I was in grade school 25 years ago. We would have read and eat once a week. We could bring in a snack and beverage from home and read and eat. I brought in popcorn from a popper. ( did not have mircro wave pop corn back then.) This girl for go her read and eat so I said she could have some of mine and the teacher said no that is against the law. I can see the point about not bringing baked good in from home. You do not know if the persons kitchen is clean or if they used outdated eggs or something. Licked there finger. But it does not seem to bother the teachers at parent teachers conference. I know when I a child bring cold lunch they are not allowed to share any part of their cold lunch with another student.
Question: How does my parent amend me from his taxes so I dont show up as a dependant? In order to be considered a resident in another state for tuition purposes, I cannot be claimed on my parents taxes for two years. I was not claimed on the 2007 but how do we amend the 2006 taxes so I am not claimed as a dependent. Also, once the taxes are amened, will my parent received a new tax return notice that does not claim me as a dependent?
Answer: you can't just decide that you weren't a dependent. if they file an amended return now, they are playing with fire--just asking for an audit. dependency is based on facts, not on what you want. the facts that are relevant are who provides the support, (assuming you passed the age tests.) forget it and quit trying to cheat the taxpayers of the state where you attend school.
