Social security disability or a different type of disability insurance? For SSDI, children of divorced parents are still eligible for benefits regardless of whether the child lives with the parent receiving Social Security benefits or the parents remarry.
Yes, a father can change his child's last name. However, this depends on the custody arrangement, and who has primary custody.
The name given the child does not affect custody. The court looks at the ability of the parent to provide a stable environment with the means to support the child.
no
They have no court standing
yes...if the father has custody of the child or children then a woman has to pay child support just like a man.
can try, but they would not have standing
Sole even if he was still shacking up with you
You can take possession, but without a court order, you do not have custody. You will need to file a child in need of care motion with the court. Are you the father or someone else?
If they were married yes but if not married and she was the custodial parent he have to go to court and get custody first.
No. The father must be informed and given the opportunity to object.
It depends on the law where you live and your custody order. If the father has sole legal custody (as opposed to physical custody) he would be able to make that decision without input from the mother. If legal custody is joint or the mother has sole legal custody, no he could not.
Boyfriend or husband (unless he is the biological father) has no legal right to the child at all. The mother can try to go for full custody though.
