      Tax Implications of Settlement

      What is the name of your state? New York A few years ago I had a rather bad accident. The case is being settled now and it looks like I will be receiving a settlement very soon. I haven't spoken to my attorney about the tax implications--are there any? I have a feeling that my attorney will...

      ? about grandparents rights

      Mo GPV I'm the echo--sorry I jumped in last night without first reading your reply. That's what happens when I try to walk and chew gum at the same time!!!

      ? about grandparents rights

      GPV in MO It has been quite some time since I looked at MO law concerning Grandparent Visitation. The last I heard, the statute was amended to exclude intact families from suit. All others were subject to suit provided they withheld visitation for a period of at least 90 days. Try this link...

      Grandparents rights

      IAAL-- We've spoken before. I am quite familiar with Troxel as I assisted in developing and writing an amicus brief in favor of the parents in that case. Troxel is now being tested state by state. Some states have used Troxel to declare that their current GPV laws are unconstitutional...

      Grandparents rights

      Herbst OK-1998 intact families cannot be sued. I believe you are alright. But I am not up on current OK legislative action or case law.

      College Costs?

      I realize this isn't a venting board and what I am about to say has no legal significance but damn am I sick of the college costs stuff-- I too paid my own way through college and my children fully expect to pay their way --through scholarships, loans, grants, work--etc. Having said that--I...

      guardianship of my sisters child

      If you want affirmation--I agree with Veronica. Find a local atty--where the child resides--i.e. Kansas --and do what Veronica has advised. Introduce yourselves as blood relatives --next of kin and see what you can do. It's not that hard, really. God speed to you.

      In the event of my death...

      I just had another thought. If the father of the child is not paying child support or is loathe to do so and if he truly has no interest in the child, you might be best off in asking him if he will voluntarily terminate his parental rights. He might be willing to do so. It is a legal route...

      In the event of my death...

      I would definitely put your wishes in a will. Additionally, PA does have a statute that should protect your mother's right of custody. I don't have the exact words but I believe that if a grandchild has resided with a grandparent for at least a year, that grandparent has the right to petition...

      grandparents rights in north carolina

      I don't have legal advice just advice from an old woman who has been there. If your mother and you truly truly feel that the child is being physically harmed or neglected--i.e, if there is that kind of abuse, then I would take action. However, if this is not the case, taking action will bring...

      Paternal grandmother threatening to take children from husband and I

      She can't successfully sue for custody but she can sue for visitation. To my knowledge , intact families in Texas are still fair game when it comes to GPV (grandparent visitation). Check your statutes and recent case law. You did the RIGHT thing to advise the school that she has...

      Sibling visitation in Florida

      Third Party visitation had been ruled unconstitutional in FLA even before Troxel owing to the Florida state constitution's "right to privacy" clause. I agree with I am always liable. However, you could continue to try to talk with your step dad and his wife on a personal level. Be patient.

      grandparent visitation

      Me again. Apparently, the KY statute is based on best interest. A momentual case was decided on 6/21/02--Scott v Scott. In this appeals case, the court ruled that GPS must show clear and convincing evidence that a lack of GPV would cause the child harm. A very good ruling. Go to an atty--be...

      grandparent visitation

      I'm a little rusty on the KY statute concerning GPV but she MIGHT just well be entitled to sue you andyour husband for GPV. In some states, even intact families can be sued. The fact that she has no bond with the child is good but not necessarily enough to keep the suit from progressing...

      Grandparent rights

      In some states, intact nuclear families may be sued for Grandparent Visitation. I did a quick check on NH as well and from what I can see, intact nuclear families are safe--but it might be a good idea to consult with a knowledgeable atty. As to LA, there has been some very recent case law for...

      Can Father's parents file for custody against seperated mother

      These are just two cases--there have been many more. Keep in mind that the petition for custody is filed in the state in which the children live--not where the gps live. I really think you should get a hold of a PA atty who has actually fought for parents. In the past, there were other...

      Can Father's parents file for custody against seperated mother

      Penn Friend-- Two recent cases--in one the mother's last name is Slepecki (try a google search o nthat) A judge had given custody to the paternal GPs --she spent over $15,000 to get it back. Another recent case--mother's name Bonnie Miller --atty Karen Ferri. Bonnie Miller is a widow. Paternal...
