Parental Kidnapping: Can The Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act And Federal Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act Of 1980 Effectively Deter It?, Rita Mankovich Irani

Duquesne Law Review

Despite the adoption in forty-four states of the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act, kidnapping remains a widespread alternative for parents who seek custody of their children. The author discusses how the willingness of courts to entertain the custody petition of a parent who has kidnapped his child has provided incentive for child-snatching, and probes section 8 of the Act, which sets forth guidelines for courts to use in determining whether to hear such petitions. Selected cases are presented to illustrate a proper interpretation and application of section 8 in light of the Act's overall purpose. Finally, the author explains the …

Joint Custody, Carolyn S. Bratt

Law Faculty Scholarly Articles

Shared custody has traditionally been looked upon with disfavor by the courts. Similarly, some professionals in the field of child development oppose the concept of shared custody. There are, however, several advantages to shared custody. The legal system benefits, as judges escape the unenviable task of playing Solomon. The child benefits because both parents continue to have a voice in the child’s upbringing, and the child continues to enjoy the love, advice, and companionship of both parents. In addition, because both parents share the responsibility of child raising, neither is faced with the loss of self-esteem which results from being …

Beyond The Best Interests Of The Child, Joanna B. Strauss, Peter Strauss

Faculty Scholarship

Identifying just principles for minimizing and resolving disputes over child custody remains one of the law's knots. King Solomon's renowned gambit for resolving the claims of two women to a newborn child was in fact the easy case: only one of the two contenders had a just claim; only one of the two contenders was prepared to be responsible; and in that first of reported cases, the judge had the advantage of surprise. Yet where each potential custodian has a claim, where each is equally prepared (or unprepared) to sacrifice his interests for the child, and where the rules of …
