Once you are pregnant your options are as follows:
- have the baby and become a full time parent
- have the baby and give full custody to the father
- have the baby and share custody and responsibility with the father

∙ 12y agoThe court will only consider what is in the best interest of the child. The father should: work to provide a stable, safe and supportive environment; get financially secure through steady employment; have adequate child care arrangements; etc. Those are the types of factors the court will assess.

If One parent has full custody but child wants to live with noncustodial parent?
They recently changed the laws of custody, No one parent has full custody UNLESS they see the other parent as unstable and unfit. If the parent you want to live with has been deemed unfit as a parent then it will have to be taken to court or you can contact certain child organizations to give you more details about how to leave your current home and return to the home of an "unfit parent" However if one parent obtained full custody of the child and the other parent was not deemed unfit as a parent, you may still live with them because of the recent change in custody laws, stating no one parent can have full or primary custody. (in other words, if your mom has full custody and your dad has none ((Also assuming the father hasn't been charged with being a drug addict, alcoholic, or financially unstable etc.)) you may live with the father)

That child can wait until the age of 18, to move-in with the other parent or that child can ask the court to move with the other parent.

If the dad has custody but child lives with mom can mom file for support?
No. If the mother has full custody, the father must pay child support to the mother who is supporting the child. Put simply, the non-custodial parent pays child support to the parent who does have custody.If the custodial parent makes significantly more than the non-custodial parent, the court will not order the non-custodial parent to pay the custodial parent. There are formulas for each state and county that the courts follow. There are also circumstances that do not follow typical guidlines.
