Legal custody means the right to make important decisions about the raising of your child, on issues such as health care, religious upbringing, education, etc.
JA CAMBECE LAW FIRM: No worker, except certain executives, can be forced into involuntary retirement at a certain age, and with the removal of the upper protected limit of 70, persons over that age are fully protected also. The fact that a state may have laws involving ages for employment does not insulate a business from liability. However if the employer can show a bona fide occupational qualification for age related limits, then action can be taken on that basis.
The Family Court is open to the public, but a judge hearing a case may decide to close the courtroom or exclude particular people based on the privacy interest of the parties and/or possible harm to the children. Family Court records are not open to the public, although people directly involved in the proceeding can obtain copies of most documents in the case file.
If you cannot speak or understand English, you should inform the judge, hearing examiner or court personnel, who will arrange for an interpreter to assist you.
Custody and Visitation
A court order of custody gives an adult the legal responsibility for caring for a child. If the parties are in agreement about custody, the judge will review the agreement and, in most cases, issue an order of custody without a hearing. If the parties do not agree, then the court will schedule a hearing to determine what custody arrangement is in the best interests of the child. In order to assist the Judge in making that determination, the judge may order psychiatric and/or psychological evaluations of the parties and of the child, and may order an investigation by probation or some other agency. The judge may also appoint a lawyer (called a law guardian) to represent the child. In cases in which it has been proven that a person has committed an act(s) of domestic violence, the court must consider this proof in reaching a custody/visitation decision.
