A few weeks ago on the blog we discussed paternity and how it can relate to child custody and visitation. Child custody and visitation is based on a child's best interests. Keeping this standard in mind when addressing custody and parenting time issues is critical, as this is what a judge will be considering when making a decision. Therefore, parents who are seeking to modify custody or change visitation need to ensure that they couch their argument in terms of how the proposed change furthers the child's best interests. Any arguments that are focused on retribution or negative animosity toward the other parent will only be frowned upon by the court and may do the parent purporting the change a disservice.
Can you challenge a prenup?
Prenuptial agreements can allow couples to address a lot of critical issues in their marriage. But it can't cover everything. Additionally, it isn't immune to legal challenges. This was an early myth about prenups -- that they were ironclad and could never be overturned or changed once signed. However, that is far from the truth.
Fathers may want to establish legal paternity
Your life can change when you have a child. You may experience love and joy like never before. As a father, you want to make sure that you can do everything you can for your child. In some cases, that may mean that you will want to establish paternity. The idea of a paternity test often has a negative connotation, but that isn’t always the case.
