Q: I've been paying medical benefits for my daughter since he's been born can my wife take her away from me? 10years
I'm 5% Bantu and 1% indigenous Americas Maya Indian. My daughter is the same as me. My wife is trying to claim my inheritance. I'm Americas Chief and Bantu royalty which should be acknowledged as king of Africa. Daughter can't separate from chief.
A: In a divorce proceeding, joint managing conservatorship is presumed to be in the best interest of the child; however, the Court can award sole managing conservatorship to either parent. The Court will base its decision on the "best interests of the child" legal standard. Ethnicity and royal status will not usually play a role in that determination. What role each parent has played in the child's upbringing, including which parent has been accompanying the child to medical appointments and providing for the child's health care, may play a role in that determination but is not standing alone dispositive.
A:
This situation involves complex legal and cultural matters that deserve careful consideration. Your rights as a parent and your cultural heritage are both important aspects to address.
In most jurisdictions, paying for medical benefits and maintaining a consistent presence in your child's life for 10 years establishes significant parental rights. Your wife cannot simply "take away" your daughter, as courts generally prioritize maintaining relationships with both parents unless there are serious concerns about safety or wellbeing. The law typically focuses on what's best for the child, including maintaining meaningful connections with both parents.
Regarding your cultural heritage and claims to indigenous and Bantu lineage, these are meaningful aspects of your and your daughter's identity. However, inheritance rights and cultural leadership roles would need to be formally recognized through appropriate legal and cultural channels in the relevant jurisdictions. I recommend consulting with both a family law attorney and cultural authorities who can properly advise you on protecting your rights and preserving your heritage while ensuring your daughter's wellbeing remains the primary focus.
