My name is Kristen, I live in Alabama, I had my son on July 22, 2009 and i do have custody of my child. Idk bout where anywhere else but I know that here that's how it is.
Yes. The child is your baby. As long as your a fit mother the child cannot be taken away from you. If you are a minor, your parents still have custody of you, but you have custody of your child.
Legally, probably not. Not unless they have legal custody of the minor's child.
If the parents are going to split up, one needs to file with the courts to define custody, child support, visitation, etc.
mother has sole custody even if living with father
The mother. The father have to petition the court for custody or visitation right.
Not without permission from her parents or from the court. Pregnancy does not confer any special privileges to a minor including that of emancipation. If the parents object to the move and the minor does so arbitrarily, any adult who aids the minor child in leaving the custody of her parents can be held criminally and civily accountable.
No. The minor has the same needs as before which the parents have to pay for. The minor and the father of her child will have to pay for their own child.
If the step parent files for custody, and the judge awards custody of the child to them.
The mother is presumed to have custody unless there is a court order saying otherwise.
the person who has physical possesion of the child.
Yes. The minor parents have the same rights over their child as adult parents do. The grandparents have no legal right to the grandchild.
If you live in the US... Being pregnant/having a child does not emancipate a minor. Therefore, the minor's parents are still responsible for supporting them (but not for supporting the minor's child), and the child support must still be paid.
