The children who were the most stressed and unhappy were not those in dual (equal custody) residence, but those who lived with (one parent) but seldom saw (the other parent)." ~ Linda Nielsen (2011): Shared Parenting After Divorce: A Review of Shared Residential Parenting Research, Journal of Divorce & Remarriage, quoting Smart, 2001.

The right of parents to make decisions regarding a child's care, control, education, health, and religion, as well as with whom the child will associate, is a fundamental right that arises "as an inherent consequence of the parent-child relationship independent of any case law, statute, or constitutional provision." ~ Ex parte E.R.G. & D.W.G., Alabama Supreme Court June 2011, quoting the Supreme Court of the United States.
The law recognizes that a higher authority ordains natural parenthood, and a fallible judge should disturb the relationship thus established only where circumstances compel human intervention." ~ In Ex parte Sullivan, Alabama Supreme Court 1981.

Another Arrest Is Made in the Murder of Alabama Lawyer Blake Lazenby
A second Birmingham man has been arrested in the murder of Talladega lawyer Blake Lazenby. We seem, however, to be no closer to learning why someone wanted to kill Lazenby, who was in the midst of a contentious divorce at the time of his death last July.

What is more important: enacting law to stop Alabama state sponsored child abuse or enacting a law to stop cockfighting?
21 Jan 2012 - MONTGOMERY, Alabama - According to an Associatied Press story the Alabama Legislature will introduce a Bill in the session that begins Feb. 7 to increase the penalty for cockfighting. The bill will be sponsored by Republican Rep. Jim Barton of Mobile in the House and by Republican Sen. Cam Ward of Alabaster in the Senate. Sen. Ward was a cosponsor of the ACFA in the 2011 session.
ALFRA is not saying a cockfighting bill is not necessary. ALFRA is asking our Legislators which bill is more important to society.
Why are we not reading stories published by the AP about our Legislators working to saferguard fit parents and children's rights to First Amendment freedom of associations? |
