Files
Description
We live in a society in which the family is one of the last bastions of private and personal judgment. THE RIGHTS OF PARENTS is a clear, concise guide that cuts through the myths and legalese of family law and offers straightforward advice concerning the legal status of parents. Here is where you stand with: Landlords—Can you be denied housing because of your children? School Boards—Can your child be disciplined without your permission? Medical Treatment—Who has control over your child’s health? The Law—When can parental rights be terminated? Ex-Spouses—What are your rights? What are theirs? What is “child-snatching”? Employers—Can you be denied a job because you have pre-school-age children? Government Agencies—How much power do they really have? In-Laws—When can they help? When can they hinder? One of a series of authoritative handbooks, THE RIGHTS OF PARENTS will help you to protect one of the most precious rights of all: the right to bear and raise children.
