Attorney, Cordell & Cordell
Divorce is emotionally devastating on its own. Sadly enough, some parents have to deal with the death of a child on top of that. The death of a child is always difficult to deal with and bringing warring ex-spouses together who will never see eye-to-eye only exacerbates the problem.
I hear from fathers who would like to get from their ex-wife some of their child’s belongings, such as pictures, trophies, childhood toys, etc. Some dads have requested being given half of the child’s remains after cremation.
This situation frequently brings up legal questions of a parent’s rights.
