See CA Family Law Code 3040 - 3048 http://www.steveshorr.com/MATTERS_CONSIDERED_IN_GRANTING_CUSTODY.htm#custody many things come into play here. even though not required, a judge would be hard pressed not to consider things such as criminal history, job status, and area of residence. there needs to be a simple stable environment for the child to function well and possibly attend school. get whatever you are seeking in writing signed by a judge and argued by a lawyer. best of luck.

First, the judge will consider the laws of the state regarding child custody. Judges know that generally speaking, mothers are the ones who provide the day to day care for their children, even if they also work outside the home. However, in many states custody is not gender based but remains a neutral consideration. In some cases you may need to be able to show that you were the one who provided day to day care for your child including such tasks as the following:

  • You fed, bathed and put the child to bed.
  • You got the child ready for school, packed their lunch and got them to school or to the bus.
  • You attended all the school conferences, plays, etc.
  • You brought the child to the doctor and dentist visits and stayed home with them when they were sick.
  • You brought them to school events, sports, birthday parties, play dates, extra curricular activities.
  • You took the child shopping for clothes.
  • You monitored their school work and helped with homework.
  • You took them to family gatherings and visits with grandparents.

Can a fifteen year old leave his paternal grandparent who has permanent temporary custody and live with his sister and maternal grandparents in Georgia?

The judge will consider what the child wants but will not do what the child wants. The judge will make a determination based upon what he/she believes, within the framework of law and reason, is best for the child. A fifteen year old may have the right to say what he believes is in his best interest, but he does not get to make the final decision.

Ex-boyfriend lied to a judge and the judge gave him temporary custody?

I assume that the "ex-boyfriend" is also the father of the child. If you believe that he lied to gain custody, you can file a motion/petition for a custody re-hearing and be prepared to demonstrate that he lied, and that you are a 'fit' mother to have custody of the child.
