The definition of the concept of child custody runs as “the care, control, and maintenance of a child, which a court may award to one of the parents following a divorce or separation proceeding.” During separation, marriage annulment or divorce proceedings the issue of child custody is raised in family courts to define legal guardianship of child/children if under the age of eighteen, with the decision based on best interests of the children in question. The option most preferred is of shared legal custody with one parent awarded the physical custody. Legal custody allows either parent to make decisions regarding the welfare of the child which include matters such as insurance claims, medical treatments etc. and is shared by both the parents until the child reaches the age of eighteen. Physical custody allows the awarded parent to live with the child and is legally held responsible for fulfilling of the child’s basic needs, with the non-custodial parent granted visitation rights in most cases. The physical child custody is granted to the parent who in court’s opinion is more financially secure and is apt to provide a proper environment for the …show more content…
The court retains power during and after trials and proceedings and holds the power to suspend, change or revoke the orders it passed earlier. It retains jurisdiction even after passing a decree in the main proceeding and can pass orders with respect to maintenance, education of children and custody. However, the court can exercise jurisdiction over children only if it has jurisdiction in the main petition. If matrimonial proceedings are dismissed by the court, the proceedings of child custody are also dismissed. Custody battles ensue for various time periods and prove to be difficult in prolonged durations. It becomes even more difficult when it has international aspects to it – for example when it involves wrongful removal of a child from his/her home country or retaining of a child in a foreign country without the consent of the other parent. With involvement of more than one country, the applicability of laws for custody purposes becomes a legal quagmire, especially when one law overwrites the

In Arizona, relocation of a minor child when there is a written agreement or court order between two parents (both residing in the state of Arizona), is regulated by Arizona Revised Statute 25-408. In most cases, application of this statute’s regulations becomes necessary when one parent wishes to relocate with the minor child out of state. In some cases, such as Thompson v. Thompson, the statute can be cited in relation to relocation within the state of Arizona. A Brief History of the Case: Thompson v. Thompson:

Besides, in each government case, the gathering bringing the suit must build up remaining to arraign the activity.

It is shameful for the government courts to excite a case by an offended party whose remaining to sue is established on family law rights that are in question when arraignment of the claim may adversy affect the individual who is the wellspring of the offended party 's guaranteed standing. At the point when hard inquiries of household relations are certain to influence the result, the reasonable course is for the government court to stay its hand instead of connect with determination a profound inquiry of elected sacred law. There is an immeasurable contrast between Newdow 's entitlement to speak with his youngster which both California law and the First Amendment perceive and his asserted right to shield his little girl from impacts to which she is uncovered in school in spite of the terms of the guardianship request.
In Arizona, the decision of the court to modify parenting time will often result in a modification of child support. In the case of Heidbreder v.

Introduction Imagine growing up with the fear of constantly being abused by your parents, or not knowing the next time that your caretakers would feed you. Believe it or not, that is the reality for many children living in the United States, which is why the foster care system was established. The foster care system was created to find homes for children who are unable to live with their biological parents, for reasons such as death, abuse, or an unhealthy home environment. Today, there are around 500,000 children residing in the system, and this figure is growing daily (American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry 2013). There has been some controversy about how the government handles the foster care system, as some believe that there

However, some children are not as lucky as others and are not blessed with the caring parents that they deserve. Luckily, the foster care system is there to help.

Foster Care is one of the major issues still faced in this world today. According to Crosson-Tower (2010), in the early 1800s, boarding homes were instituted with the idea of rescuing “good” children from ‘bad” parents. The study notes the idea of paying for foster homes to house children was renounced in view of agencies advocating foster care argued that it will lead foster homes to take children for money rather than out of altruism. However, the practice of paying for foster care emerged and the government became involved regulating and administering the foster care system in the twentieth century (Crosson-Tower, 2013).

Pros #1 Child labor is very important towards poor families who need extra help bringing food and money in the house. Most children under the age of ten start working in order to help bring in a decent amount of money in order to help their parents and siblings survive. Children are not incompetent; most realize when their parents are struggling to make ends meat, they try to help out as much as they can and most decided that, even though they are young, they have to start doing more therefore most decide to start working. The jobs they receive often don’t pay much so in order to have higher pay most children work for hours on end in order to bring in more money especially if they come from extremely poor families. “Victor chapani started working when he was 10- a few hours a day- rounding up passengers minibuses in his impoverished city of El Alto, Bolivia... earning less than a dollar an hour… “United,” he says, sounding like a seasoned adult laborite, “we as child workers can achieve anything.”
If someone takes their ex-wife, ex-husband, etc. to the court and they reject to pay child support, the might have to pay a penalty fee, have their license retracted and they might even be forced to go to jail. Child support is a system in which money is paid for the care, supervision and protection of a minor; the payments are made specifically by a divorce spouse or guardian of the child. The child support does not only include food and clothing, it also covers medical care, extracurricular activities, school fees and others.
