Can a 16-year-old move out of the father's home and in with the mother in New York if there is no custody agreement?

If there is a custody agreement in place through the courts, the mother cannot take the child out of state without the fathers consent. If there is no agreement in place, the mother does not have to have the fathers consent.

No. Some fathers have custody.

the father gets the custody of the child if the mother dies

Single mothers have sole custody, however I teach fathers how to stop such moves.

Custody arrangements by which it is in the best interest of the child without infringement of the mother or fathers rights.

No. No. No. No.

Not without a custody award.

Whether or not a mother can take a child out of the state without the father's consent depends on the custody order that is in place. If there is no formal agreement, she does not need permission to leave the state with the child.

Not if the person has a court ordered custody agreement. If no visitation/custody order is in place, it is at the discretion of the person who has custody of the child.

If married, he doesn't have to.

Go speak to an attorney.

Sole Custody until ruled on otherwise. The Glass Ceiling for fathers.

Even sole custody fathers can be ordered to pay child support, when they earn more than the mother. see links

Unless the mother is unfit she will get the baby.

Depends on the type of custody and agreement probably, but I think no.

Single father has none. Married father is equal to that of the mother, but in application, unenforceable. see links

Get a good family law lawyer.

Virginia is different from most states where an unmarried mother automatically has legal custody of her child and the father must establish his paternity legally. In Virginia there is no presumed custody. Unwed fathers and mothers must go through court to obtain legal custody.

The mother has de facto custody. I do not know whether a separation agreement is involved defining legal custody, but from the sound of your question, I doubt it. Usually a fair Court with all things being equal will allow the child to remain with the mother until custody is decided. However, the determination of custody is not made until there is a signed agreement so Ordered by a Judge or a Court issues another legal paper, for instance a Judgment or an Order, that incorporates that signed agreement or until a judge decides custody.

who can help a unmarried mother in California get legal and physical custody for free

Yes, but I teach fathers how to change that.

Yes, that only applies to fathers.

NO. She needs the permission of the court that has jurisdiction over the case. She cannot interfere with the father's visitation rights. If an agreement cannot be reached between the parents the judge will decide.

YES, IF SHE HAS SOLE CUSTODY OF THE CHILD AND THERE WAS NO AGREEMENT TO STAY IN THAT STATE. OR IF NEITHER PARENT HAS LEGAL CUSTODY EITHER PARENT COULD DO THAT

With or without the child? Which state did the custody order originate? You haven't provided enough information for anyone to give you an accurate answer.
