UK Grandparents will get legal right to see grandchildren after divorce battles
by Black Sheep ingrandparents will get legal right to see grandchildren after divorce battlesfor the first time, separating parents will be expected to ensure grandparents continue to have a role in the lives of their children after they split up.. parenting agreements will be drawn up that explicitly set out contact arrangements for grandparents.
these can then be used as evidence in court if a mother or father goes back on the deal.. the recommendation is part of a sweeping review of the family justice regime commissioned by the government and led by david norgrove, a former civil servant.. the government is likely to accept the recommendations after nick clegg, the deputy prime minister, said last year that it was crazy that millions of grandparents lost contact after separation and divorce.
he said that they played a vital role if relationships broke down.. in 2009, 113,949 divorces were registered in england and wales.

CO was asking for money in his talk last night
by life is to short inok i listened in on the phone last night to the co's talk after the book study.
i am truly starting to realize that otwo is right and it is just making me more depressed and mad.
but my husband still goes and it is helpful to be able to bring things up with him.. so i was half listening when he starts to go on about where the money goes that we put into the world wide work box at the back of the hall.. i started to tune in more and he was going on and on about how the ones in the full time service do not have any money and how what we give is what keeps them going and how we need to give.
