Defend Yourself--Be That ONE Small Voice:
Blog by Granpa Chuck
Many legal issues shared on this blog
from an ol' guy that knows that the only person you can depend
on is himself. He has experienced many a family situation; and
even went to Family Court a few times. However, noting will
surprise him. Noting, his favorite quote is “Knowing
is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.”

Best Interest of the
Child - The use of the best interests
doctrine represented a 20th century shift in public policy. The
best interests doctrine is an aspect of

Tender Years Doctrine, which rested on the basis that
children are not resilient, and almost any change in a child's
living situation would be detrimental to their well-being.
