Are fathers entitled to 50/50 custody?

Sometimes. It's a question that's been asked many times, and with good reason. As a man, I've always felt that there was a 50/50 chance of me getting the kids if we split up, but it didn't make sense because mothers have historically done more housework than men. Every situation is different so you should speak with a lawyer rather than just relying on my information.

- If the mother is working full-time, she may not be able to take care of the kids alone while making enough income to support her family.

- The father might be too busy at work to be able to spend as much time with his children as he would like.

- Special occasions such as parent-teacher conferences might not work out if they are on opposite days or times.

Many people think that mothers are better suited to raising kids because they're the ones who give birth. In some cases, they're right—but not always, and even if they are right all the time, that doesn't mean it's fair. Just like men aren't entitled to equal pay for doing the same job as a woman, or to promotion just because there's a female in the company who's their senior, they also aren't entitled to equal treatment when it comes to child custody. The reality is that both parents should have equal rights regarding their kids, and no one should be given privileges due simply to their gender.

Can a divorced woman keep custody of her child if she remarries?

Yes, a divorced woman can keep custody of her child if she remarries. Every situation is different, however. Is the child's biological father in the picture? The court will want to know who else is present in the child's life—who is the child's caregivers and how close are they to the child. The Court will always do what is in the best interests of the child – so try to see things from that perspective. When considering whether a divorced woman can keep custody of her child if she remarries, the first thing to look at is the law in her state . Different states have different rules regarding divorce and custody: some states allow a parent to change their custody status to "joint" or "shared" after remarriage, and others require that the parent terminate their old custody order before being allowed to enter into a new one. In situations where the court can't approve of an unmarried stepparent's rights over a child during joint custody, there a...

How do you probate a will?

Image
Probating a will is the process of proving that the person who wrote it is really dead and receiving their assets. It's a little different from an estate, which is everything the deceased owned at their death, including any property they left to people in their will. The steps of probate depend on where you live and whether there are any challenges to the will. Here are some of the general steps: -           The executor files a petition with the court, stating that he or she wishes to be appointed as executor and petitioning for letters of testamentary (will) or administration (no will) . This petition initiates the probate process. The person who has already been declared legally dead will be offered a chance to object to this petition. -           The executor pays off any debts or taxes that must be paid before probate can proceed. Taxes owed by the estate are called " estate taxes ." Debts ...

What happens if you miss a Chapter 13 bankruptcy payment?

Image
It depends on the situation, but it can result in some additional fees or even a potential dismissal of your case. I recommend that you speak with a bankruptcy lawyer immediately if you fall behind on your Chapter 13 payments or other secured payments being made outside of the Chapter 13 plan. In order to be eligible for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy , you must meet certain criteria. One of those is that you must have a regular income that allows you to pay back your creditors over time. That doesn't mean that you need to make the same amount every month, only that there should be some sort of regularity—you can't just make more in December than in May and then nothing at all until February. If you're on an income-based repayment plan, you'll need to have sufficient income to cover the projected monthly amount due each month. If the court determines that there's been non-payment (or insufficient payment) due to either insufficient income or other reasons, it can dism...
