Only a court order can terminate parental rights and only in serious cases. When a parent petitions the family court to terminate or curtail the rights of the other parent they must provide proof the child is at risk when in the care of the other parent. The court will appoint experts to evaluate the situation and report their findings back to the court. Depending on the seriousness of the situation the court could order parenting classes, order supervised visitations, end visitations or terminate parental rights, if the court finds the other parent is unfit.In the case of a non-parent petitioning the court to end parental rights, if the court finds there is good reason to remove the child from the parent's custody it will appoint a legal guardian for the child.The factors used to determine that a parent is unfit are generally governed by state laws with child endangerment being the determining factor. The following include some of the reasons a parent may be declared unfit:physical, emotional and sexual abuseexcessive disciplinefailure to protect the child from abuse by othersfailure to report abuse of the childneglect- failure to provide food, clothing, proper hygiene, necessary medical treatment, schoolingfailure to provide proper medical carefailure to provide day to day parental careserious illness or disabilitymental illnesssubstance abuse or addictionalcoholismcriminal activity and/or associationsincarcerationconduct or conditions that are seriously detrimental to the childabandonmentchild endangermentleaving the child unattended or in the care and supervision of a child or otherwise incompetent persona failure to provide adequate supervisionunsafe living conditionsa medical condition that makes it impossible for the parent to adequately care for the child.You need to consult with an attorney who specializes in custody issues who can review your situation and explain your options.
YOU cannot deny any custody or visitation. Only the court can make an enforceable decision regarding these matters. State laws vary. If physical abuse is the case, the custodial parent will need a record of the abuse and should call the police, take pictures to record the effects, and try to have dis-interested witnesses present at the time of any contact between the parents. If there is no abuse to the children, or no abuse in the presence of the children, it is unlikely to make any change in the court decision for joint custody. It may compel the court to make some order for supervised exchange of the children for visitation. Only the court can make any decision, especially regarding custody. If the non-custodial parent is abusive to the children it may be very good grounds for a sole custody arrangement. It may also encourage the court to provide for supervised visitation. Visitation is a different issue than custody. Visitation is the means for the non-custodial parent to have a relationship with the children and build that relationship. A court generally regards this as semi-sacred. A custodial parent should NOT deny visitation. If it is necessary to curtail visitation for the real safety of the children, the custodial parent should immediately file a request for a change of visitation. Otherwise, a court may frown on a parent who denies visitation. In some states, continual denial of visitation can be grounds for a change of custody.

Anderson: I have a thought about the issues of today related to the Gazi and Israel situation. I wondered about what would end the stale mate and reduce or eliminate the deaths of more Gazi civilians. While I am not sure it will release the Israel hostages at this point in time it sure could end the war and stop the bloodshed and curtail Hamas. Build in Gaza at a large detention camp or camps. Surround them with 12 foot high cyclone fences topped with razor wire. Double the fence of same construction with razor wire about 100 feet apart, and place land mines on it. Inside set a tent city or cities holding all the citizens of the current town where the residents are located and needs to be secured. Build as many other detention camps as needed to secure the (citizens of Gaza) Of course running the camps requires food, shelter, health care etc. It secures and reduces the death toll and suffering if done right. For what we spend on this war it would be a small price to stop the political mess) we are in. I suspect Israel taking the lead in this while it might not be as liberal as some would like would help stop the story and actions going on now as a cease fire just has not worked and a need to separate the citizens from Hamas is needed to finish this conflict. If this could save the hostages at all, as this last killing of the 6 just happened, but something must be done. Israel then goes in and destroys only Hamas infrastructure, tunnels etc. and leaves it completely all destroyed leaving homes etc. Yes, you will get some Hamas into the camp, but snitches and observation in the camps will route out some of them. On entry extensive searches and deta logs,on everyone then ID them with tracking injectable devises as well. Post war and at some future point could take the devices out if all ends well. The camps would be a hell of a lot better than what is happening now, cost a lot less in both money and public option but a cease fire is just not working. Let's face it when Egypt and bordering countries will not take them in like they did years ago there is a reason. So Israel needs to take swift and strong action to end it. Tis option has merit. Of course it also has a downside as well in public option of detention camps. The alternative of how it is being handled now is not working. You are a well - known journalist of reputation so you floating this idea cleaned up as you will - might catch on? Best of luck, I just could not stand it post the killing of these last 6 souls, so that is why I am writing this to you Good luck David Mitchell 1-4791244515
