There is hell-rock from hell, but I've met my match with the clock.

ex: do all parental split-ups get a non-disparagement clause in the ruling?

AI Overview

No, not all parental split-ups automatically include a non-disparagement clause in their final ruling or separation agreement. While considered "standard" in many high-conflict custody cases, they are not a mandatory requirement for every separation.

Here is a breakdown of how non-disparagement clauses work in family law:
  • When They Are Used: These clauses are common in contentious, high-conflict parenting cases where one or both parents are concerned about the other speaking negatively in front of the children.
  • Purpose: The main aim is to protect the children's emotional well-being by shielding them from conflict and ensuring they feel safe loving both parents.
  • What They Prohibit: They typically prohibit parents from denigrating, speaking negatively about, or criticizing the other parent to the children, within earshot of the children, or to third parties. Some clauses also extend to social media.
  • Voluntary vs. Ordered: While often included in negotiated settlement agreements, a court can expressly order a non-disparagement clause as part of a parenting order under the "best interests of the child" standard.
  • Limitations: Truth is not always a defense; a non-disparagement clause often prohibits saying negative things even if they are true, aiming to stop harmful conflict rather than just false statements.
Even without a formal clause, courts generally expect parents to behave civilly and not disparage each other in front of children, and continued "bad-mouthing" can lead to a parent losing custody or visitation time.

"best interests of the child" is noticeably in scare quotes within.

disclaimer: sometimes AI can be full of shit

-162 there are break-up horror shows within. They seem to be more common than Blue Jays pitcher's strikeouts this season. Smoked, but 10 more today for 60--through 4 games--which may set another record (50 in 3 apparently was).

Thanks for the use of the jukebox.
