I heard a great joke over the weekend that seems fitting for this particular article. While I’m certainly no stand-up comedienne, it went something like this: There was a bus driver taking a group of elderly folks home from a casino trip. A short while into the ride home, the man sitting behind the driver tapped him on the shoulder and offered him some peanuts. The driver gladly accepted the treats.

Years ago when I first started practicing law representing victims injured in automobile accidents, the legal landscape was quite different. I remember taking an initial intake call and writing facts down on a yellow pad of paper. Then when I conducted the client interview in my office, their home, or the hospital, I wrote more facts down on paper. When it came time to request the hospital and treating doctors’ records, a written request was mailed out. When all the records came into our office, a medical file was made up with an index and medical summary to be placed in the folder. If the insurance company of the at-fault driver did not present a fair offer of settlement, a Complaint was typed, on a typewriter, it was signed, and then hand delivered and filed with the Court.

Disputes regarding the relocation of a child’s primary residence can be emotionally difficult and otherwise frustrating for all parties involved. As explained in Part I of this article, Delaware Courts have long recognized that consistent and frequent contact between a child and both parents is typically in the best interests of a child, as is continuity of a child’s academic and community endeavors.

Delaware law is gender blind with respect to the determination of legal custody and residential placement of a child after parents separate. More often than not, joint legal custody with shared residential placement is the norm in Delaware. Of course, if parents work to communicate and cooperate in co-parenting after separation, the child will have an easier adjustment period, parent-child bonds will strengthen with the parent who had not previously been the child’s primary caregiver pre-separation, and child custody litigation might never become an issue.

When I woke up this morning my car, walkway and driveway were all coated with snow for the first time this year. The side roads were also blanketed, but when I arrived at work, the area was clearly shoveled or salted with not a snowflake in sight. The building that I work in is always very good at making sure that the grounds are well-maintained, however, I’m sure some people are not so lucky.
