In re V.L.K. vs. Troxel: Is the "Best Interest" Standard in a Motion to Modify the Sole Managing Conservator Subject to a Due Process or Due Course Challenge?, 34 St. Mary's Law Journal 623 (Spring 2003)

01.01.03

A mother and father divorce and the father is named sole managing conservator to their only child. Two years later the father loses his job, and the father's mother (the child's grandmother) files a motion to modify custody and requests that the trial court name her the sole managing conservator. In doing so, the grandmother argues that she is better equipped to raise the child as she is wealthy and can provide a safe home and good education for the child.

Search Tips:

You may use the wildcard symbol (*) as a root expander.  A search for "anti*" will find not only "anti", but also "anti-trust", "antique", etc.

Entering two terms together in a search field will behave as though an "OR" is being used.  For example, entering "Antique Motorcars" as a Client Name search will find results with either word in the Client Name.

Operators

AND and OR may be used in a search.  Note: they must be capitalized, e.g., "Project AND Finance." 

The + and - sign operators may be used.  The + sign indicates that the term immediately following is required, while the - sign indicates to omit results that contain that term. E.g., "+real -estate" says results must have "real" but not "estate".

To perform an exact phrase search, surround your search phrase with quotation marks.  For example, "Project Finance".

Searches are not case sensitive.
