Can someone cite me a court case as a precedent that indicates that 12 years old (or some other age) is old enough for the child to be left alone?

Answered 12 years ago by John F. Brennan (Unclaimed Profile)   |   2 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Child Custody

How do I apply for joint custody of my minor daughter while I am in prison?

Answered 12 years ago by Helene Ellenbogen (Unclaimed Profile)   |   4 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Child Custody
You can establish paternity and set the stage for a parenting plan and child support when you get out. However, first, there is no custody as such in WA. Second, no reasonable judge would provide for joint decision making while you're in prison. Third, no reasonable judge would provide for a 50/50 schedule when you get out as the child will have had no history with you. Depending on the crime for which you are doing time, you will likely start with supervised visitation when you get out.... Read More

What can I do if I want to live with a different parent?

Answered 12 years ago by Helene Ellenbogen (Unclaimed Profile)   |   2 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Child Custody

But if it's just a matter of wanting to live with your Dad, you should discuss this with both your parents and if possible a therapist or counselor to help your parents figure out what is best for you....

Do I need to get permission from my ex to take my kids out of state for trips and vacations?

Answered 12 years ago by Helene Ellenbogen (Unclaimed Profile)   |   6 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Child Custody
If you have a well written parenting plan, it outlines what you're supposed to do. It is always preferable to give notice of where the children will be and how they can be reached (phone and address) as well as exact dates of course. You can do a minor modification of the parenting plan to add this requirement and any other reasonable items that were left out. Have a lawyer review the plan for those kinds of issues, preferably not the lawyer who drew up or agreed to the plan without these items being included.... Read More

Is there a way I can get temporary custody of my grand daughter without an attorney and if so, what do I need to do?

Answered 12 years ago by Mark T. Peters, Sr. (Unclaimed Profile)   |   2 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Child Custody
The parents could give you a power of attorney. If just one does, the other parent can still claim custody. So, barring that, no, there is no way for you to get custody without an attorney.
