Talk:Child custody laws in the United States

message: The outmoded terms and concepts "custody" and "visitation" were superceded years ago by "residence" and "contact", with the fundamental premise that children are not property. These principles have been ratified into law by almost every country in the world, and the amendment of the article accordingly must be given high priority. The article is irrelevant without these major clarifications. At most, references to "custody" should form a mere addendum to a "child residence" article. 222.166.160.28 7 July 2005 15:00 (UTC)
Says who?  I don't think that, in the U.S., where family law is still primarily a state (as opposed to federal) matter, many states have adopted this new terminology. Terry Thorgaard (talk) 19:30, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

message: Where does this talking about. USA, UK? 
In the UK the old custody order has beeen replaced with a residence order. The idea of where the child resides and parental responsibilities is now pretty well seperate.

OK silly me it says "New York state!". What is the intention of this page? Is it to grow to cover child custody in every state and every country? If this is to be expanded for every legal concept is this too much detail for Wikipedia?
I don't understand this sentence from the "New York State" section: "Since the 1970s the divorce laws in most western nations recognized fathers as real parents and both parents are financially responsible, was the emergence of custody battles."  Will someone please re-write it so that it makes sense grammatically? Terry Thorgaard (talk) 19:44, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Where?

message: I have recast the page as essentially for the U.S., moving material to parental responsibility which is the more generally recognised area of law. David91 03:32, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

message: I propose that Possessory conservator be merged into Possessory conservator. Although Possessory conservator presents itself as if it is a broader discussion of U.S. law, it is in fact a discussion of Texas custody law and terminology.Arllaw (talk) 16:34, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
