Every family is different, and some families have an abusive parent. That parent might be physically or verbally abusive, but whatever form the abuse takes, you will want to protect your children from being harmed by it when they're spending time with the parent. Here's what you need to know.
Should in-vitro children be told how they were conceived?
In-vitro fertilization and other modern fertility practices -- like surrogacy and artificial insemination -- bring up different legal questions. Most importantly, do the children born from these practices have the right to know who their real parents are? And, should these children be given other special rights?
Are you in danger of losing child custody?
Not having access to your children -- or not having them by your side every evening when you're home from work -- is not something any Florida parent wants to imagine. Nevertheless, if circumstances have arisen that could result in you losing your parental rights, this fear could be very real for you.
Florida law and virtual visitation
In the digital era, we have a lot of ways to visit one another. We can do it in person, but we can also visit each other on the cellphone, via Skype, WhatsApp, FaceTime and numerous other internet-based applications. In fact, due to the prevalence of digital communication, the state of Florida has enacted laws that provide "internet visitation" rights to parents when their children are staying with or visiting the other parent.
