Title XXXV. Domestic Relations
SuperBrowse Chapter 403. Dissolution of Marriage; Child Custody (Refs & Annos)
SuperBrowse Custody
1. Proposed Legislation
Effective: July 14, 2018
KRS § 403.270
403.270 Custodial issues; best interests of child shall determine; rebuttable presumption that joint custody and equally shared parenting time is in child’s best interests; de facto custodian
Currentness
(1) (a) As used in this chapter and KRS 405.020, unless the context requires otherwise, “de facto custodian” means a person who has been shown by clear and convincing evidence to have been the primary caregiver for, and financial supporter of, a child who has resided with the person for a period of six (6) months or more if the child is under three (3) years of age and for a period of one (1) year or more if the child is three (3) years of age or older or has been placed by the Department for Community Based Services. Any period of time after a legal proceeding has been commenced by a parent seeking to regain custody of the child shall not be included in determining whether the child has resided with the person for the required minimum period.
(b) A person shall not be a de facto custodian until a court determines by clear and convincing evidence that the person meets the definition of de facto custodian established in paragraph (a) of this subsection. Once a court determines that a person meets the definition of de facto custodian, the court shall give the person the same standing in custody matters that is given to each parent under this section and KRS 403.280, 403.340, 403.350, 403.822, and 405.020.
(2) The court shall determine custody in accordance with the best interests of the child and equal consideration shall be given to each parent and to any de facto custodian. Subject to KRS 403.315, there shall be a presumption, rebuttable by a preponderance of evidence, that joint custody and equally shared parenting time is in the best interest of the child. If a deviation from equal parenting time is warranted, the court shall construct a parenting time schedule which maximizes the time each parent or de facto custodian has with the child and is consistent with ensuring the child's welfare. The court shall consider all relevant factors including:
(a) The wishes of the child's parent or parents, and any de facto custodian, as to his or her custody;
(b) The wishes of the child as to his or her custodian, with due consideration given to the influence a parent or de facto custodian may have over the child's wishes;
(c) The interaction and interrelationship of the child with his or her parent or parents, his or her siblings, and any other person who may significantly affect the child's best interests;
(d) The motivation of the adults participating in the custody proceeding;
(e) The child's adjustment and continuing proximity to his or her home, school, and community;
(f) The mental and physical health of all in.
Under California law, grandparents may be granted visitation rights in certain circumstances. If a parent of an unmarried minor child dies, the deceased parent's parents can be granted visitation if found to be in the best interests of the child. However, if the surviving parent remarries and the new spouse adopts the child, grandparent visitation can be terminated. For married parents, grandparents may petition for visitation if the parents are separated, one parent is missing, one parent joins the petition, or the child lives elsewhere or is adopted. Grandparents of divorced or separated parents may also petition for visitation if found to be in the child's best interests and not interfering with parental authority. In both cases, parental objection
The law on maintenance for children (equal responsibilities)NurulHayyu1
This document provides an overview of the law on maintenance for children and equal responsibilities between parents in different jurisdictions. It begins with definitions of maintenance from legal and Islamic sources. It then outlines the position in international law and conventions, before comparing the laws in Malaysia, the UK, Australia, Indonesia, and Islamic law principles. Key points covered include authorities and obligations for child maintenance, applicable ages, formulas for determining amounts, and treatments of shared custody arrangements.
This separation agreement between Jane L. Smith and John J. Smith details the terms of their separation and pending divorce. Key points include: Jane will have sole physical custody of their three children, with joint legal custody; John will pay $104 per week in child support; the couple's marital home will be sold with proceeds split equally after expenses; personal property is divided; and each party waives claims to the other's estate. The agreement was executed to settle property, custody, support and other marital obligations pending their divorce.
If you have had a family law matter involving retroactive child support, depending on how long ago it was, you have probably heard of D.B.S. v. S.R.G. 2006 SCC 37 (”DBS”) and more recently, Michel v. Graydon 2020 SCC 24 (”Michel”). Both DBS and Michel are Supreme Court of Canada decisions.
Child support is a court-imposed obligation for one parent to financially help support their child. There are two ways for the amount to be set: by agreement between the parents and court approval, or by the court if the parents disagree. Florida uses child support guidelines to calculate the amount based on factors like number of children, parents' incomes, health costs, and time spent with each parent. If a parent thinks they are paying too much, they should consult an experienced family law attorney.
10.5 relative non-relative care assessmentscreaminc
The document outlines policies and procedures for assessing relatives and non-relatives as placement resources for children under the custody of the Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS). It states that DFCS shall assess any interested relative using the Relative/Non-Relative Care Assessment form, unless court requirements prevent placement. It provides guidance on conducting criminal records checks, home visits, safety screenings, and placement approvals for relative caregivers within 30 days of emergency placement or referral. The procedures describe coordinating with other counties when a relative resides elsewhere and notifying relatives of approval or denial decisions.
After separation or divorce, parents can agree privately on the type and amount of child support to be paid from one parent to the other. If they cannot agree, a parent can apply to the Child Support Agency to determine support. The Agency uses a formula based on factors like income, number of children, and time spent with each parent. A notice will then inform the parents of the monthly payment amount and their rights. The Child Support Act is complex, so seeking legal advice is recommended if there are issues with payments or variations from the standard formula.
This document discusses strategies for minimizing inheritance disputes through estate planning. It recommends: 1) listing personal property gifts separately to avoid conflicts; 2) regularly updating plans for changed circumstances like divorce; 3) involving family in discussions for special assets like businesses or vacation homes; 4) using prenuptial agreements for second marriages to define entitlements; and 5) properly funding trusts to avoid confusion and carry out intentions. The goal is to make defensible choices transparently to satisfy emotional needs as well as practical requirements.
The petitioner, Diwata Ramos Landingin, filed a petition to adopt her deceased brother's three children - Elaine, Elma, and Eugene Dizon Ramos. However, the petition was denied for three key reasons: 1) Landingin did not obtain written consent from the biological mother, Amelia Ramos, as required by law; 2) the authenticity of the written consent from Landingin's children was not sufficiently proven; and 3) there was doubt about Landingin's financial capacity to support the children given her part-time job and age. The court ruled that adoption requires fulfilling all legal requirements and considering the best interests of the children.
In Arizona, one spouse must reside in the state for at least 90 days prior to filing for divorce. Irretrievable breakdown of the marriage is the only grounds needed for a no-fault divorce, though covenant marriages allow additional grounds like adultery or abandonment. The court will consider factors like child preferences, parental relationships, and domestic abuse when determining child custody and awarding alimony or child support. Property acquired during the marriage is divided equitably, without consideration of misconduct.

The document discusses custody, maintenance, and guardianship under Kenyan law. It defines legal custody as conferring major decision-making rights over a child's health, education, and welfare. Actual custody refers to physical possession of a child, which can be sole or joint. The court determines custody based on the best interests of the child and factors like the wishes of parents and relatives. The court can also issue access, residence, and care orders. Parents have a joint duty to maintain their children financially whether married or not. The court considers factors like income and needs when issuing maintenance orders, which can include periodic payments or lump sums. Failure to pay maintenance can result in distress warrants or earnings attachments.
