TOP PICK:
Children's Bill of
Rights When Parents Are Not Together
A bill of rights for children who are
coping with divorce. From the American Academy of Matrimonial
Lawyers. This was my top pick because I think it sets a valuable
precedent, encouraging adults to consider the rights of children
in a divorce, remarriage or stepfamily situation.OTHER LINKS OF INTEREST
