No, as the child has no standing in the court to do so. A parent must file a motion, than it goes from there. see links
In Alabama, a child cannot be a judge to change custody. Custody decisions are typically made by a judge based on the best interests of the child, taking into consideration factors such as their age, preference (if mature enough), and the ability of each parent to provide a stable and supportive environment.
You will have to show significant change in order to change the custody agreement in North Carolina. Even if there are significant changes, it is up to the judge to decide the custody of a child.
No, in Alabama, a judge through your county court system is who will handle your custody hearings. DHR or DHS do not handle these but they may be involved in the hearings.
If she is found to be unfit or addicted to drugs she could lose custody. Additionally, if she refuses to give the father visitation the judge could find her in contempt and change custody to the father.
A child does not need to be abandoned by their mother for a father to be awarded full custody. If the father can demonstrate before a judge that the mother is unfit to parent, the judge can award him full custody of the child.
If custody has not yet been decided by the court the child can express his wishes but the judge is not required to follow them and the judge will make the final decision.If custody has not yet been decided by the court the child can express his wishes but the judge is not required to follow them and the judge will make the final decision.If custody has not yet been decided by the court the child can express his wishes but the judge is not required to follow them and the judge will make the final decision.If custody has not yet been decided by the court the child can express his wishes but the judge is not required to follow them and the judge will make the final decision.
most likely he will lose his rights til the judge decides what is best for the child.
You don't "get" a judge to do anything, however you can file a petition for modification of custody and if you can provide a valid and compelling reason why such a modification should be granted, the judge may modify the original order granting your request.
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.
The child cannot make that choice. A parent needs to file a challenge, during which a GAL will present the child's view to the judge. Or, arrangement for the child to speak to the judge in private. The judge determines the child maturity, and related factor, in a custody change. see links
