At the center of the discussion is the question whether it is reasonable that mothers are generally favored by courts to receive (full) custody of their children.]]> http://www.singleparentgossip.com/1546/child-custody/tennessee-considers-equal-child-custody-legislation/feed/ 0 http://www.singleparentgossip.com/1531/child-custody/judge-removed-from-custody-case-over-grandparents-visitation-ruling/ http://www.singleparentgossip.com/1531/child-custody/judge-removed-from-custody-case-over-grandparents-visitation-ruling/#comments Thu, 31 Dec 2009 16:11:06 +0000 Wolfgang http://www.singleparentgossip.com/?p=1531 The Oklahoma Supreme Court disqualified a district judge as it believed that he misinterpreted grandparent visitation laws. Judge Charles Gray apparently used “an expansive interpretation of grandparent visitation laws to give the paternal grandparents of a 4-year-old boy physical custody of the child five days a week while limiting the mother to two days.”]]> http://www.singleparentgossip.com/1531/child-custody/judge-removed-from-custody-case-over-grandparents-visitation-ruling/feed/ 0 http://www.singleparentgossip.com/1289/child-custody/army-mom-refuses-to-deploy-loses-son/ http://www.singleparentgossip.com/1289/child-custody/army-mom-refuses-to-deploy-loses-son/#comments Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:22:14 +0000 Lisa http://www.singleparentgossip.com/?p=1289 21-year-old Spc.

However, a report published by Working Mothers magazine published today states that the times may be changing. Dads apparently are increasingly taking over primary child care duties, which puts the in a much better position to get full custody of their children. “The shifting custody landscape is alarming to working moms, many of whom say they work primarily to provide a better life for their children,” said Working Mother Editor-in-Chief Suzanne Riss. “Women are surprised to learn that time spent in the office is increasingly being viewed by the courts as evidence that they’re less involved in their child’s day-to-day care. It’s important that working mothers understand the changes in custody rulings.”]]> http://www.singleparentgossip.com/1280/child-custody/women-losing-custody-battles-more-often/feed/ 0 http://www.singleparentgossip.com/1276/odd-stuff/man-claims-airport-noise-caused-divorce/ http://www.singleparentgossip.com/1276/odd-stuff/man-claims-airport-noise-caused-divorce/#comments Tue, 17 Nov 2009 18:26:15 +0000 Lisa http://www.singleparentgossip.com/?p=1276 Living close to an airport can be nerve wrecking, but can it cause your spouse to leave?

Some of the claims may not sit that well with many single parents, but Sears raises some interesting and certainly valid concerns. “Many Americans are failing their children because they have already failed themselves,” Sears writes. She points to a dramatically declining U.S. Marriage Index that needs to be addressed rather sooner than later by the U.S. government as current regulations aren’t working that well. ]]> http://www.singleparentgossip.com/1213/divorce/former-chief-justice-questions-no-fault-divorce-laws/feed/ 0 http://www.singleparentgossip.com/1182/child-safety/mom-cannot-smoke-around-children-court-says/ http://www.singleparentgossip.com/1182/child-safety/mom-cannot-smoke-around-children-court-says/#comments Tue, 10 Nov 2009 20:01:34 +0000 Lisa http://www.singleparentgossip.com/?p=1182 An appeals court in Ohio has ruled that Marilyn Anderson, mother of 9-year daughter Victoria, is not allowed to smoke around her child.]]> http://www.singleparentgossip.com/1182/child-safety/mom-cannot-smoke-around-children-court-says/feed/ 0 http://www.singleparentgossip.com/1177/gossip/jon-gosselin-announces-5-million-suit/ http://www.singleparentgossip.com/1177/gossip/jon-gosselin-announces-5-million-suit/#comments Tue, 10 Nov 2009 19:05:24 +0000 Wolfgang http://www.singleparentgossip.com/?p=1177 Facing a rather uncertain future on TV, Jon Gosselin announced that he will be filing a $5 million lawsuit against TLC that is likely going after a contract that he considers as too restrictive to enable him to make a living.

We all know that it always was and always will be one of the most popular topic areas and most of us have to admit that we at least played with the idea to find out what is out there. But there is one topic we usually don’t talk about and pretend it does not exist – child pornography. Single Parent Gossip author and child safety expert Pat McKenna exposed disturbing information that child pornography and paedophiles may be just one click away from some single parents. This direct imminent threat to the safety of children does not only exist in what many still believe is an ocean of anonymity of the Internet. There is an especially alarming implication for the real world. ]]> http://www.singleparentgossip.com/1093/child-safety/adult-friend-finder-paedophiles-are-just-one-click-away/feed/ 0
