Joint Custody VS Primary/Secondary Custody

[bobles]

North Carolina - consent order reads "... primary physical placement shall be with the Plaintiff/mother and secondary placement shall be with the Defendant/father. However, the best interests of the children would be served by granting joint custody to the parties." I gave my girlfriend permission to have my 4 year old daughter's ears pierced as per my request. The mother has charged my girlfriend with "Body Piercing without the consent of a custodial parent." Am I not a custodial parent? Will the charges stick?

Yes you are, but she could argue that this was a decision that should have been made by both parents. You need to research and read up on what joint custody means.

My response:

LegalBeagle has one of his extremities pierced.

Can you guess which one ?

Here's a clue : It's less than 2 inches in length.

I give up!

Tongue or dongue?

 

[I AM ALWAYS LIABLE]

My response:

No, I'm sorry. Time is up. I'm going to have to flip all the cards over.

It's his belly button. The doctor was blind and left this really long OUTY - - so now, he's got this "wrecking ball" dangling from it.

Yuck !
