What You Can Learn from the Britney Spears Saga

Hofstra Law Professor Joanna Grossman has taken a careful, scrutinizing look at the Britney Spears case and used it as a backdrop to discuss what everyone should know about family law cases in general and child custody cases in particular.  It is a very interesting read, and here are some of the lessons she discusses:
  • Courts, not Divorcing Parents, Ultimately Decide Custody
  • Parental Behavior Matters in Custody Battles
  • The Paparazzi Are Not the Only Ones Watching Your Every Move

Hi, my name is John and I'm the father of my son, who was living with his mother in another state. He now resides with me and attends school here, I would like to have custody of our son. I've heard wait six months and go to the courts. Is this true ? He's 10 yrs. old.

John,

Where does someone start to get visitation in South Carolina? I want to get organized and stated visitation of my son ( never married to his mother). My concerns are 1) she agreeing 2)enforcing her to be equal about driving and transportation.
