| My class was told how different probate court is than other courts within the legal system in criminal and torte cases. As I watch the trial, I would really hate to have to be a witness in a probate court trial. I hope forensic psychologists don't have to become expert witnesses in those types of cases. They are so disorganized. With the "who gets the body" stuff aside, the guy named Larry who has been asking for paternity BEFORE her death seems to have the most standing in the case of paternity. The child may be several months old, but that isn't the fault of the possible biological father who has been requesting his parentage since she was 1 month of age. I think the sooner a parternity can be established, the better it will be for the child. Even if Anna was alive, the biological father has rights once she is born. Legally, it doesn't matter what the mother wants, if the father is fit, he has every right to be a part of her life. jmo |
