Most states lean toward Joint Legal Custody with primary residential custody
If you have a custody agreement that states you are to have the child at specific holidays or alternating holidays, you can file a contempt of court action against your spouse in the court with jurisdiction over the custody case. The non-compliant parent should also be made aware that their failure to abide by the custody agreement can endanger their status as a custodial parent as well if the non-custodial parent files for custody modification based on that. If you don't have a legal custody agreement on file, now would be a good time to get one. Courts are not concerned with "he said/she said" agreements.
In most states that's considered parental abduction if you have primary residential.
I HAVE PRIMARY PHYSICAL CUSTODY OF MY DAUGHTER. SHE IS 12 & DID NOT WANT BRACES. HER FATHER DID NOT WANT HER TO HAVE BRACES EITHER. I HAD BRACES PUT ON ANYWAY. I KNOW SHE WILL APPRECIATE IT WHEN SHE IS OLDER. HER FATHER PAYS CHILD SUPPORT & IN OUR COURT ORDER IT STATES THAT HE HAS TO PAY 50% OF ALL DENTAL & MEDICAL. I DID WHAT WASBEST FOR MY CHILD & NOT MY EX.
no,unless the custody agreement states you cant move without notifying the court
The parent with physical custody receives child support from the other parent. If the parties have shared custody the court will use state guidelines to determine if someone pays child support and how much.
It is a term used in some states to indicate who retains custody of a minor child. If parents share equal custody they are joint managing conservators. If one parent retains primary custody he or she is the sole conservator and the non-custodial parent is the possessory conservator.
Yes, unless the order for support states otherwise.
YES. Fathers have equal rights to their child just as the mothers do. Mothers should not automatically get sole primary physical custody just because they are women. The family court system in the states is starting to lean towards this. Hopefully it will not take 50 years and umpteen kidnapped children.
Having full legal or physical custody. If it is full legal custody the mother has given up any legal claim to the child. If it is full physical custody with joint legal custody the child will be in the legal custody parents home. She may elect to give the child up to be adopted by the stepmother. In many states (and maybe in all states) if the custodial parent dies, then the non-custodial parent gains custody, provided that that his/her parental rights have not been terminated (and just because he/she did not have legal custody does not mean that his/her parental rights were terminated). Of course, in that event the stepparent can still petition the court for custody. Check with a local attorney.
Not unless they obtain permission from the court that issued the original custodial order.
