Probate Service And Family Court Announces Standing Order For Never Married Parents
The Probate and Family Court Department announces the implementation of Standing Order 2-05 relative to a pilot Parent Education Program for never married parents in the Hampshire Division. Chief Justice Sean M. Dunphy said, "The new Standing Order mandates that parties to a Complaint to Establish Paternity, a Complaint for Custody/Support/Visitation, a Complaint for Modification or Contempt in any case involving visitation, custody or support of minor children of never married parents filed on or after September 1, 2005 attend and participate in a three (3) hour education program known as "For the Children."
"For the Children" is a supportive parent education program that focuses on the needs of children of never married parents. Topics will include the vital role of parents in children's lives, cooperative parenting, pitfalls for parents to avoid, understanding children's needs and supporting children when parents live apart. The new Standing Order became effective December 1, 2005.
Since 1994, the Probate and Family court has required that parties to a divorce action in which there are minor children register with and attend an approved parent education program. Attendance is mandatory unless waived by the court. Currently, there are 31 approved providers who offer the program at 63 locations around the state. The program is also offered in Spanish at 3 locations.
You May Be Able To Avoid Probate
A living trust is one way someone may be able to eliminate the need for probate. This trust holds legal title to your property after your death and will survive you after your death. Always consult a probate lawyer first.
