Family Law changes- Grandparents' access rights

Mar 4 -2013

As a grandparent in BC you have the legal right to apply for access in BC but that doesn't necessarily mean that you will automatically get the right to have access visits with your grandchild.

The court looks at 3 things:

1- whether its in your grandchild's best interests

2- What the parent who have custody think about giving you access

3- What the child's views are if the child is old enough

Unfortunately in some instances the child's parents will decide the amount and type of access you will have unless the court finds that they are acting against the child's best interest. You may get access but you will not have the same rights as a parent would for frequency and length of the visits.

Did the brown paper Bag keep our secret financial papers safe?

DAY 16 TIP OF THE DAY - 60 DAY CHALLENGE OFFER

Feb 16-2013

What did our grandparents do with all of their important documents , their investment papers, insurance policies? Does a brown paper bag mean anything to you? 

That is what our ancestors did to safe keep their documents to leave for family members.

They would roll up their documents in brown paper and stick it in the rafters either in the basement of their house or in their attic.

I spoke with someone today who mentioned to me, that their parent's house has turned over 2 times now and they are trying to figure out how to ask the new owners permission to get their Dad's brown paper bag shoved into their basement rafters.  Without telling the new owners that it is worth $250,000!
