WOULD YOU GIVE THIS EX-CON VISITATION RIGHTS?

In the light of the recent story involving the child custody case of two-year old Madeleine Samaan Fay, below is another case currently before the court. During this particular custody battle and hearings held, it is obvious that the courts don't know what to do with unstable spouses, it is not their job to predict human behavior. The judge is only allowed to follow the laws on the books and then he hopes for the best, this is not good enough. It is a crap shoot. We need some new laws or policies that protect the children. 

Please make any comment or feedback as maybe this will lead to a proactive campaign to get legislative attention. The names have been changed for obvious reasons.

WRITERS NOTES #5

Go the extra mile. Always give the client more than they expect. Don't give them a fair exchange, give them exchange over and beyond the fair exchange. Be distinctive, not a regular process server. Be indispensable, not just a robot. Do something that makes your client remember you.
