How will it affect child support payments if your husband's ex-wife gets sole custody?
Child support, is based on the needs of the child and the economic situation of the parents. Child support is primarily determined by what it takes to provide the child with a reasonable standard of living, based on what the two divorced parents have available. Sole custody indicates that the child will be living solely (with limited visitation) with a just one of the parents. Thus, that parent will be responsible for providing the vast majority of the food, clothes, etc. that the child will be using. The non-custodial parent now no longer will be providing those (if they had shared custody). So it is likely that the court will also modify the child support requirement - either reducing the amount the custodial parent had been paying the now non-custodial parent, or increasing the amount that the now non-custodial parent had been paying the now custodial parent.
If an unfit mother of US origin is married to an illegal alien from Mexicodoes the illegal father have grounds to sue for custody if he can prove she is unfit?
The biological father of a child always has the right to sue for custody of his child. Whether his immigration status will cause problems for him being awarded custody and or being allowed to stay in the country is a totally separate issue however. Solely based on the best interests of the child if the mother is truly abusive or neglectful the father should intervene in order to protect the child, irregardless of his legal status. While he may be deported and unable to obtain custody himself the state will assess the child's living situation and move to protect the child if it is appropriate.

When children are born does both parents receive joint custody automatically in Virginia?
If the couple is married they both have equal parental rights. In Virginia, an unmarried mother is presumed to have custody. Once the paternity of the father has been established legally through the court he can request custody. The court will make a determination of physical custody based solely on the best interest of the child. See related link for more information.

If a father terminates his parental rights does the mother have to give up the child for adoption if the mother is a single parent?
If the father terminates his parental rights the single mother can legally and solely have full custody of that child as long as the courts decide that she is capable of working and providing a safe environment for the child. There are times that the parents of the young mother, or possibly grandparents will help in looking after the child if the mother is a minor and finishing her education and the courts will often look favorably on this.
Do both the mother and father have to pay child support if grandmother has custody?
Unfortunately, you still have to pay if these are her grandparents. It is up to the grandparents to suggest to her that she pay something towards the children. If they are your grandparents then they can seek legal council and demand she too pay child support. If she is living with the grandparents and raising your child then it is solely up to the grandparents to decide if they foot the bill or she does. Sorry. Marcy
Can you live with your boyfriend if your mother gives you permission but your stepdad objects?
If a stepparent has not legally adopted a non biological child, then he or she has no legal right to make any decision concerning the child. If the mother retains full custody of the minor the decision can be made solely by her as long as such a decision is not contrary to existing laws of the resident state. If there is joint custody between the two biological parents, the parent with whom the child does not reside would have to file suit to prevent the minor from moving in with a significant other.
