@ Charles Yes, I agree with you that it would be strange. However:

"If you are requesting
a temporary order on parenting issues, you should include as many of these parenting plan topics
as you will need to carry your family through until all parenting issues are resolved"

I rest my case... Deborah will know best what fits in the context :) Cheers

Aida A "solicitud de guarda (y) crianza" (the precise wording varies), which this apparently is, seems to be a formal application for custody from one of the parents addressed to the judge.

If joint custody is agreed between the parents, then I don't know whether there would be a "solicitud".

Stuart and Aida Nelson Aug 13, 2018:

Charles If both parents are applying for joint custody this would make sense, since the 'parenting plan' rules visiting times, etc. However, if only one parent apply for custody this would not make sense.

Thank you for your comment on 'guarda crianza'. Spanish legal jargon tends to be a bit OT :)

Charles Davis Aug 13, 2018:

Aida On "parenting plan": this expression is used in the UK too. But I'm not sure it's necessarily the exact equivalent of the document Deborah's text refers to. A parenting plan is an agreement between the parents on the practical issues of parenting after the divorce. But "Solicitud de guarda crianza y alimentos" sounds like a formal request for a ruling on custody, which is not the same thing.

Thanks for the Panamanian document: very interesting. It shows that "guarda crianza" is used as a compound noun in Panama too, so I may have been wrong about the implied comma. But it also confirms that "guarda crianza" is a process, not a person.

Lost my answer! Hit the wrong button and waiting for support to restore my answer :)

Charles Davis Aug 13, 2018:

@Aida There are documents from Costa Rica that use the expression "la guarda crianza", as if "guarda crianza" were a compound noun, but in all the cases I have seen it means "custody and care" (literally "custody and rearing"). Of course in general terms this kind of agreement is about parenting. But I haven't seen any cases in which "guarda crianza" means the parent who has custody and care of the child, and in principle it can't refer to a person. It means "guarda y crianza" or "guarda-crianza", and the source is ultimately Article 24 bis or Costa Rica's Código de la Niñez y la Adolescencia:

"Las niñas, niños y adolescentes tienen derecho a recibir orientación, educación, cuido y disciplina de su madre, su padre o los responsables de la guarda y crianza [...] El Patronato Nacional de la Infancia [...] fomentará en los niños, niñas y adolescentes, el respeto a sus padres, madres y personas encargadas de la guarda crianza."
http://www.tse.go.cr/pdf/normativa/codigodelaninez.pdf

Do you have any cases in which the expression "guarda crianza" clearly means the parent exercising "guarda [y] crianza"?

Stuart and Aida Nelson Aug 13, 2018:

Parenting plan I, Aida, have looked at several custody documents from Costa Rica (probably, also the case in Panamá) and they invariably use 'guarda crianza'. The literal translation would be '(the parent/person) who takes care of the upbringing'. Hence, I think parenting plan would be appropriate together with 'custody' to specify that this is related to the custody of a child. This term would not fit with guardianship, since guardianship involves persons who are not the parents of a child.

Thank you, Charles for your input. Unfortunately I have not been able to open that file "salvamento de voto del - Órgano Judicial. But yes, I saw on Google that those terms were mentioned separately.

Charles Davis Aug 13, 2018:

And although this particular combination seems to be a little unusual, there are many more references to "guarda, crianza y educación", mostly from Panama and Costa Rica, apparently.

Charles Davis Aug 13, 2018:

@Deborah I don't think "guarda crianza" is a two-word phrase here; I believe guarda, crianza and alimentos are three separate items. You need to imagine that there is a comma after "guarda". Here's a reference from Panama; I've copied it from the Google result because the pdf won't load:

"salvamento de voto del - Órgano Judicial
www.organojudicial.gob.pa/wp-content/blogs.dir/8/files/2009...
Jul 8, 2009 - aprobara el acuerdo de Guarda, Crianza y Alimentos, por lo que mal puede asumir la competencia, y sobre todo, por el hecho que el Juzgado"

@Asker We also need to know whether you are translating for a US or UK (or other...) English-speaking readership/jurisdiction. There are no "one-size-fits-all" translations in the field of law.

Agree with Lorena We need more context (= long(ish) quote from the ST) in order to avoid sending you off on the wrong track. Without that essential context, there are too many (potentially incompatible) alternatives.

Deborah Howze (asker) Aug 12, 2018:

At the beginning of the document. It looks like this is a matter being handled within Family Court and it concerns minor children.
