This would distinguish the nonparent acting as a parent to the child from a grandparent, a baby sitter, or a boyfriend or girlfriend of the parent, who watched the child for the parent, but who was never intended by the parent to be doing so in the same capacity of another parent," [WiI Schroeder] wrote.

A parent with joint custody can't relocate without the other parent's consent unless the move is in the best interests of the children, Massachusetts' highest court has ruled. The parents shared joint custody of their two children and lived within 25 miles of each other. The children attended school in the Massachusetts district where the mother lived. The older child had attention deficit disorder and related learning problems, but the school system established a support system that helped him adapt socially and educationally.

Council member Harold Brazil.

If you talk to noncustodial parents, many are passionate about child support, custody and parent time. Noncustodial parents -- usually fathers, who according to U.S. Census Bureau figures pay 90 percent of child support -- have good reasons to oppose any increases in child support amounts. We specifically oppose the whopping increases included in the "updated" child-support tables proposed by Sen. Greg Bell and Rep. Julie Fisher. Here's why. First, the methods used to arrive at the current child-support tables were derived from a confusing mishmash of economic methods that are nearly impossible to understand. Utah uses the "cost shares" method of imputing the support tables based on a mix of fixed and marginal costs of supporting a child within an intact family, not a divorced family. T...
