No. The court decides where the minor is to reside until he or she becomes of legal age.
no, she is given to the next of kin, they can decide if she should stay there or move else where. they may want to take her opinion strongly into consideration.
me kno kno
yes, if the step parent name is assigned to the child.
no
The guardian gets the child support, but the child can receive social security on behalf of the deceased parent until they are 18.
inheritance, at least I think that's how you spell it
Of course. Unless the non-custodial parent takes sole custody, the non-custodial parent is still responsible for paying child support to whomever the child goes to. There is no reason the death of a parent should terminate the other parent's child support obligation.
If the child is disabled, then yes, child support can be ordered for life.
That child's interest would pass to any living parent and if no parent to their siblings.
Not for final full custody. The court has to decide who the children will go to. If they have lived with stepparent for years and know him/her as a parent the stepparent have a chance for custody. If the biological parent have left a will with his/hers wishes, it will also play a part. It's all about what is best for the children. Get a lawyer.
THANK YOU
Only if the child is severely handicapped.
Not the same way as if the child was older but missing having a mom/dad and not getting to know the parent can make the child feel such things. The other parent and grandparents can often tell the child how amazing the parent was and that can make you feel like you knew him/her in a way and miss him/her and wish you had met and known him/her.
