Depends which state you are in. The judge usually ask a child that age of his wish even though it is not in the law like in some states, but the judge is not obligated to follow it.

Can a parent give their child to the child's half sibling?
A parent cannot give their child to anyone without involving the court so that the guardian will be a legal guardian. The court may allow the guardianship of a child by an adult half-sibling if it is a good placement and in the best interest of the child. You should speak with an advocate at the court or an attorney, if possible.A parent cannot give their child to anyone without involving the court so that the guardian will be a legal guardian.

Can a non biological parent get visitation?
I would contact a local attorney and explain your situation. In some cases, you may be able to sue the biological father for non-support. Just remember, if he didn't have the money to pay child support, more than likely it will just be a moral victory. However, if the father has a business, home, or other assets, you may be able to have a lien placed against the bio father. My advice for you is to keep accurate records and when the child turns 18, have the child petition the court to have the child support paid to them. There is no statute of limitations on child support payments and states have agreements to cooperate in finding and collecting support. Good luck, BW

The non-custodial parent must follow the child support order until it has been modified by the court. That parent can visit the court and file for a modification due to the change in circumstances.

I pay child support and don't know where my child is. What can I do?
You have not said how you pay your child support. If there is a child support order one wonders why there is not also a visitation schedule and why you have not been spending time with your child all along. You need to speak with an advocate at the family court that issued the child support order and explain your situation. It is against the law for one parent to prevent the other parent from contact with the child if a court has jurisdiction over the case and there is no court order preventing visitations.
