Cross-Country Custody Tie

Seven-year-old Tatan (name changed) does not know which country’s law will decide whether he will live with his father or his mother.

State's Mistake Denies Father Rights To His Child

A Nebraska father said a mistake by the state denied him rights to his child. Michael Eggleston met his 5-year-old daughter for the first time two years ago. At first, Eggleston said he wasn't sure whether he was the father. A paternity test proved he was the child's father and he began paying child support. But he said his ex-girlfriend didn't want him to be a part of the child's life. Eggleston married another woman and backed off.

Now Kids Have Their Say in Family Court

A dramatic change seems to have taken place in the status of children in law, as new regulations enacted in December are being applied in a pilot project in Family Court in Haifa and Jerusalem.

"Family Court," the regulations state, "will give children the right to express their feelings, opinions and desires in the matter before the court...and will accord them the proper weight in its ruling, in keeping with the child's age and maturity."

Britney Spears, Kevin Federline Fight Over $1 Million Legal Bill

Attorneys for pop star Britney Spears and ex-husband Kevin Federline on Monday sparred over $1 million in legal fees in their child custody case as an official let stand a court order that has denied her custody and limited visits with their two sons.

Family Court Commissioner Scott Gordon kept in place an earlier ruling that custody of Jayden James, 1, and Sean Preston, 2, would remain with Federline. He also maintained a previous order that has denied Spears any visitation, even though in recent weeks Federline has agreed to limited visits between her and the boys.

Custody Statute is Bad Math

William Farrell is a stand-up guy who works hard to provide for his two kids.

But the Longmont resident says a revision to Colorado's child-custody statute is forcing him and thousands of others to work even harder.

The statute in question is 14-10-115. It allows children born after a divorce to be factored into child-support payments. It increases payments when the custodial parent has another child. But it can also lessen benefits for kids when the noncustodial parent has another child.
