This advice applies all romantic couples who have children, financial, and/or assets or other shared valued items. freep.com | Detroit Free Press Image via Wikipedia "People go into these relationships out of love, but they don't use their heads," says Pamela Radzinski, a Southfield divorce and family law attorney. Yet census data show the number of opposite-sex couples living together hit 6.8 million in 2008. That's up from 5 million in 2006 and up from less than a million some 30 years ago, reports USA Today, citing census data. Cohabiting couples make up roughly 10% of all opposite-sex U.S. couples, married and unmarried. But if you want to live together in the state of Michigan without marriage, Radz...

The fact that a person has a disability, whether mental or physical, now cannot be a reason for finding that the person is unable to care for a child, in the absence of specific evidence relevant to the family's circumstances and the child's best interests.Meanwhile, in the less enlightened state of Massachusetts, which is ground zero for the hatred and destruction of families wrought by FAAAS, true believers in Maxine Aston's Cassandra cult are teaching continuing education seminars that indoctrinate social workers to treat ...

With hard feelings on both sides, parents have difficulty coming to agreement on breastfeeding and custody and visitation arrangements that are in the best interests of the nursling. I recently received this comment and question: Is there a Colorado law that explicitly states that it is a mother’s legal right to breastfeed? The father of my daughter’s baby (7 months), and his attorney, are trying to force my daughter to wean the child and get her to bottle feed. This is so the father can gain more freedom with visitations. Any suggestions on where I can find this information for my daughter to fight this issue? Thanks in advance for your response. While I am a former attorney (of tax law),...

The four all entered pleas of “not guilty” in June. According to today’s Journal News, “allegations against the four include using degrading nicknames for the children, leaving screaming children alone in the bathroom with the door closed and engaging in inappropriate sexual conduct in front of the children.” The Journal News includes a photo of teacher Tammy Card being greeted by students and notes that nearly 20 supporters were present at the back of the courtroom, all wearing buttons that said “We believe in T...

Reporter Tom Paulson notes that, while “Most of those attending the conference are likely to be focused on topics such as the findings pointing to some of the genes involved in autism, potential drug targets and better means of diagnosis or treatment,” popular discussion of autism has a different focus: The public dialogue on autism, however, tends to focus largely on speculati...

Really upset,” said one of my son Charlie’s ABA therapists yesterday evening at the biweekly meetings we have with his therapists and consultant. Last night there were actually two consultants present, both the woman who now oversees Charlie’s home program and also the woman who used to. “What do mean you by upset?” asked the former consultant. “He cried. And kind of moaned; I turned on some music and kept it on and after awhile—-” “And that was all he did.” The former consultant leaned forward in her chair. “Right, he wouldn’t stop crying but he stopped.” Charlie’s former consultant and I caught each other’s look and we both started to laugh. &#8...
