How is it legal for a judge to place a minor into protective custody with parents who abuse the child and almost killed the child?
It may be illegal for a judge to remove from a child from the parent's custody without a legal case. There are loopholes in the law, and unfortunately child protective services is an area where this happens all too often.
If your husband dies will his young child who he has full custody of be sent back to his mother or be allowed to stay with you the stepmother?
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.
Can a custodial parent prevent the non-custodial parent from having someone else pick the child up from school?
School is not a place of visitation, and ultimately the school is responsible for returning the child to the custodial parent at the end of the day, unless that specific custodial parent has notified the school of other arrangements. In this situation, it is imperative that the court order that sets forth legal custody be on file at the school.You need to check the laws in your particular jurisdiction by consulting an attorney or an advocate at the family court. Your question implies a non-custodial parent taking the child out of school during the school day. Generally, Unless the parents have shared legal custody, the non-custodial parent has no right to remove the child from school.The parent with sole legal custody should make certain the school has a copy of the court order that granted them sole legal custody. If someone other than the custodial parent will be picking up the child during the school day the parent should notify the principal in writing and also call to confirm. If necessary, the school should have on record a copy of the visitation schedule if the non-custodial parent will pick the child up after school on their visitation days.
Can custody be taken away for no reason?
No! There must be good reason and proof before either parent of a child can take total custody if the courts had already given shared custody between the parents of that child. It's best to seek legal advice to be sure you maintain the custody of your child. Good luck Marcy
