How To Modify Child Time Sharing Custody After A Divorce

For one reason or another, you may need to make a change to the Court ordered time-sharing Custody . The change is called “Modification” and it is a legal process that must go through the courts. Before you do anything, you must get a copy of your final court order or final judgment of dissolution of marriage. Many times a court order or final judgment refers to a divorce settlement agreement or general magistrate’s finding, which you will also need to copy. If you never had a court order, then you can not change or “modify” one.

For purposes of establishing or modifying parental responsibility and creating, developing, approving, or modifying a parenting plan, including a time-sharing Custody schedule, which governs each parent’s relationship with his or her minor child and the relationship between each parent with regard to his or her minor child, the best interest of the child shall be the primary consideration. A determination of parental responsibility, a parenting plan, or a Child Custody schedule may not be modified without a showing of a substantial, material, and unanticipated change in circumstances and a determination that the modification is in the best interests of the child. Determination of the best interests of the child shall be made by evaluating all of the factors affecting the welfare and interests of the particular minor child and the circumstances of that family, including, but not limited to:

(a) The demonstrated capacity and disposition of each parent to facilitate and encourage a close and continuing parent-child relationship, to honor the time-sharing schedule, and to be reasonable when changes are required.

(b) The anticipated division of parental responsibilities after the litigation, including the extent to which parental responsibilities will be delegated to third parties.

(c) The demonstrated capacity and disposition of each parent to determine, consider, and act upon the needs of the child as opposed to the needs or desires of the parent.

(d) The length of time the child has lived in a stable, satisfactory environment and the desirability of maintaining continuity.

(e) The geographic viability of the parenting plan, with special attention paid to the needs of school-age children and the amount of time to be spent traveling to effectuate the parenting plan. This factor does not create a presumption for or against relocation of either parent with a child.

(f) The moral fitness of the parents.

(g) The mental and physical health of the parents.

(h) The home, school, and community record of the child.

(i) The reasonable preference of the child, if the court deems the child to be of sufficient intelligence, understanding, and experience to express a preference.

(j) The demonstrated knowledge, capacity, and disposition of each parent to be informed of the circumstances of the minor child, including, but not limited to, the child’s friends, teachers, medical care providers, daily activities, and favorite things.

(k) The demonstrated capacity and disposition of each parent to provide a consistent routine for the child, such as discipline, and daily schedules for homework, meals, and bedtime.

(l) The demonstrated capacity of each parent to communicate with and keep the other parent informed of issues and activities regarding the minor child, and the willingness of each parent to adopt a unified front on all major issues when dealing with the child.

Plus Size Dark Fairy Costume – 3 Fun Ways To Make Your Holiday Costume A Success

The dark fairy costume is portrayed in exactly how the words are written. The meaning of the two words will start to make sense as you read on. Dark fairy basically means a creature without light or lost soul. She is what would be considered the complete opposite of the good fairy . If you are going to wear a dark fairy costume, then it might be beneficial to understand how you can fit the dark character.

Understanding the darkness that lives deep with the soul of the dark fairy is crucial to behaving like one. These are creatures that hate those that love peace and harmony. They steal of souls and may haunt a family for generations. It was during a time of enchantment when the a group of fairies fell from grace. Their pursuit of power and evil magic made them into the creatures they are today.

To wear a dark fairy costume means to look angry, old, and a creature that is wasting away from the evil eating at their soul. A dark fairy costume can come in different styles. Not all are as dark as I made this one out to be. Yet if you want to portray the traditional dark fairy look, then wearing the dark fairy costume as described in this article will be crucial to making it pop.

1) Make up

A dark fairy costume needs to have the right make up. Anything like zombie make up or vampire make up will do. Dark fairies look old, unclean, without life, and very thin. At times they almost look like skeletons. Put a bit of dark makeup on your face. But don’t over do it. You don’t want to look dead. You want to look dirty and tired. Add some wrinkles to enhance the look.

2) Shoes

Your fairy costume will need shoes that are the color black. Make sure they are opened toe. Unless you plan on wearing a sexy or cute dark fairy costume, your shoes should be flat heal and no high heels. If you can add a few tears into the material of the shoe, then that will add to the look.

3) Hair

Your hair is the final touch to this costume. Hair has to be disorganized. If you have very short hair, you may want to purchase a wig. Dark Fairies are in a constant state of chaos. Their thirst for devouring souls is never satisfied. Dark fairies are not creatures of beauty. They do not care about their looks, unless they are luring a male to them. At that time they will look as the male would want them to look. .

The criteria discussed this article are just a few things that can help you create the perfect Halloween costume. Something that you might keep in mind is, the dark fairy has a wail. This wail is often heard when someone dies. If you can practice a good wail, you will not only pull off a great costume but also scare a few people..

Have You Thought About Preparing Your Family Survival Essentials?

There are many possible threats to your family from natural disasters (Tornado, wind, ice snow, hurricane, flood etc…) to man made (Chemical spill, pandemics, terrorism etc…) and even economic disaster is not out of the realm of possibility. There are ways you can start to prepare now to protect your family by gathering survival supplies, survival foods and other survival items.

Survival supplies should be gathered to sustain your family for 72 hours minimum. You need to carefully consider the threats for your area and stock up accordingly. There are many items such as personal hygiene, medications, water and food that should be included. Here are two important tips I learned the hard way when our power went out I did not think to store feminine hygiene products and that made the wife upset which added to my attitude and I also forgot about the pet food and we ran out. Guess what happens when the power goes out? The stores all close so you cannot just run out and buy some. These are two very important survival items that should be on your list. Think about what you use every day and begin to gather these supplies. Take a couple of items out of a new box or package and put them with your survival supply kit. This allows you to slowly start building your kit without buying a bunch of additional survival items all at once.

Be mindful of the survival foods that you are gathering to make sure that they are stored properly. Canned goods have a shelf life of one year so you should work out a rotation plan or check them every six months and donate what you need to replace for a tax credit. Other foods have a variety of shelf life’s so be sure to set up a system to rotate. When I buy a new can of coffee it goes to the basement and the one there comes upstairs ensuring that I always have a good can available if needed. This can be done with other foods as well. Make sure that your survival food storage is out of the sunlight and in properly sealed containers. You do not want to get that bag of flour only to find that bugs have gotten into it. By taking these steps I have been able to build up on my survival products over time and ensure that they are fresh and usable when they are needed.

There is a lot of information available from multiple sources on the web. I hope that this article has at least started you to think about these survival preparations if you have not already begun. I cannot list all of the tips and survival essentials that I use in this article however I have created a web page with much more information about gathering survival supplies, survival foods and other survival items.

Planning For Your Family Future – Crisis Garden

Could you and your family get off the grid and survive in a panic? Do you have enough seeds to plant a crisis garden to be able to feed your family? Do you have the right kind of seeds to plant? If you’re answering no to these questions, you need to stop wherever you are and ask yourself one very important question. “What would I do if the grocery stores closed and I could not buy food?” The answer is that you and your entire family would probably go hungry unless you have survival food stocked away.

Have you ever grown a garden? Most Americans have grown them for tomatoes or some of their favorite foods. This has been an exceptional way to reduce food expenditures and have fun at the same time. Yes it is work however it has always been rewarding work. Before I began thinking about the ever increasing problems in the world and this country I enjoyed growing tomatoes, broccoli, corn, peppers, beans and many other foods that we either ate or gave away to the neighbors. I will no longer give away what we cannot eat unless it is in exchange for a food I have not grown. I will now use canning methods to store all of the excess foods from my garden to create more survival foods for the future. In case the stuff hits the fan as is becoming increasingly likely I will process foods from my garden for our future consumption. However there is a problem in that most of the seeds that we use are HYBRID meaning that they will produce for a season (Maybe two) and the seeds from the hybrids will not germinate or reproduce again. These are known as terminator seeds in the industry and could kill you crisis garden plans for the long term. The other problem with these seeds is that the nutritional yield of these seeds is lower as seed companies and farmers have striven over the years to produce more, the nutritional value has declined in the end product that you buy in the grocery.

The answer to this problem is heirloom or open pollination seeds that have not been genetically altered. These seeds will produce year after year and produce some amazing results in nutritional value, you may not get as many tomatoes but they will have a vastly higher nutritional value and the seeds will reproduce. These seeds will assure that your crisis garden has a long term chance to ensure some of your family survival essentials. These types of seeds are still available but are highly sought after and increasingly unavailable for many varieties of food. I believe this is due to the 2012 believers and the TEOTWAWKI (The End Of The World As We Know It) followers. Whatever your beliefs are the seeds are becoming increasingly hard to find and I would humbly suggest you stock up on your favorite varieties when you find them.

With the increasing prices of fuel driving up the prices of food it only makes that much more sense to start your crisis garden to lower your food cost for your family. I do not follow the 2012 or other groups however the economy has me worried and I am taking steps to add to my family survival essentials and prepare for the worst (even long term) as the national debt rises I know I will be negatively effected in the future. This is one way I can prepare for a disaster and lower my grocery bill at the same time.

Protecting Your Kids On The Web

If you are like most parents you want your children to learn. They want them to have access to the best things that are out there and they want them to have access to the things that will help them learn. But most parents are also scared about the various dangers lurking on the Internet.

You may find out that your child ends up viewing pornographic sites for the following reasons

- Innocent and misdirected searches
- Brand names that are not used the way they are suppose to be
- Innocent word searches
- Misuse of brand names
- Emails that are not solicitated
- What are the harmful effects of pornography on your child’s development?

Attitudes and values can be changed and parents do not realize that.

Becoming addicted to sites like this can actually cause problems with a child’s identity.

Seeing sites like this on a regular basis can increase sexual molestation, violence and even teen pregnancy.

What can you do to help your child with this situation and to keep it from happening. The knee jerk reaction would be to remove Internet access to your children. The sensible thing to do will be to install a porn blocking software that will help protect your children against malicious content on the Internet. I would recommend this porn blocker software

You will benefit from these as they help to decrease sites that show up that have a lot of violence or drug use as well.

Parents get reports that tell them the sites that their children were visiting recently and this comes in the parents email so the child does not need to know the parent has it.

The tool enables you to monitor all the activities of your child online.

Before a child sees a particular page, its contents are checked and only then access is granted.

When parents install porn blocking software, they can be assured that the child is protected against harmful effects of pornography and violence.

It can be very hard to raise a child in today’s society. But, talking to your children about what is right and wrong, as well as the consequences can really help guide them in the right direction so you do not have to worry.
