An especially nasty trick some non-custodial parents play is to deliberately estrange a child from himself. Bad conversation, bad food, unkempt bedding, and no activities are all easily manufactured. Why would a non-custodial parent do this? Because there are at least four more years of child... View More

This is an especially odd question because it asks whether a court can make one parent the "custodial" parent while giving far more than 50% parenting time to the other "non-custodial" parent. The answer is yes because the family court judge can do anything he wants to a family.... View More
