For the past 2.5 years my grandaughter(2.5yrs old) has been in my care/custody from Thur - Sun. Now, suddenly her mother wants restrict all visitation with me, no overnights. Nothing has happened at my home to promote this action, my son is suddenly agreeing to everyother weekend visits. When my grandaughter needed her shots, I took her, when she got sick and needed her lungs pumped I took, I have had her in preschool, swim lessons, etc. etc. What can I do to protect my visitation rights with my grandaughter, we have a very strong bond and this change will confuse and hurt her.
I don't get along with my family. There is mental abuse, but not physical. I do have a place to stay, and it is a 2 parent responsible and healthy acting family, unlike my own family. My parents would never relinquish control of me. If I leave without permission, and I go live with this other family, a) could this other family be charged legally with a crime for allowing me to stay there without parent permission? b) could I be in legal trouble by staying there? My school grades are exc., but emancipation isn't possible since my parents refuse to allow me to have a job. Please help.

Question: What does the job description of a lawyer entail?
Answer: A lawyer's job description depends on what type of focus or specialty the lawyer has in his or her practice. Lawyers work in a myriad of venues such as for the government, for a law firm, for the military, for non-profit organizations or for corporations. Within those different entities, a lawyer may practice medical law, wills and estates, products law, business or coporate law, computer or information technology law, patent law, contract law, consumer law, criminal and the list goes on. Some lawyers spend a great deal of time in court as they are litigators which means that their cases go to trials and hearings. Other lawyers rarely go to court and their practices are considered transactional, meaning that they deal with issues that are negotiated or implemented without the use of the court system. Lawyers deal with a lot of paperwork and often work directly with other lawyers on a daily basis. Many lawyers travel across the country and internationally for depositions and meetings. Most lawyers are on the computer and on the phone a lot as well.

For the person from South Africa - if being a lawyer is your dream - than go for it!!! Whether the field is overpopulated or not, you have to follow your heart. If you want the job bad enough, you will study hard and become very good at law - and get a job. If that is what you want to do, work as hard as you can and go for it! :)

I have always wanted to become a lawyer. I know alot about lawyers. There ia many different kinds of lawyers, i have made up my mind that i do not want to be one that gets off Murders or rapists. I want to be the type of lawyer that helps young children out of abusive homes and anything that is not right for the child. I wouldnt mind being one that does other things as well but i mainly want to be one that helps others.
