Only by order of the court, and even than, there should still be at least supervised visitation.
yes, because it can be seen as child endangerment. you need to apply for full custody and the mother needs to be declared unfit to take care of the child by the court.
If there is joint custody of the child then the father should be told by the mother where she is going with the child and for how long. If the mother wants to live in another State the courts will have to decide visitation rights. Example: The father has may have the child one or two weeks during the summer; possibly Christmas or alternative Christmas', etc. If the father does not have joint custody then the mother can leave with the child to another State without his permission, but to be fair to the child the father should be informed unless the father has a criminal record; drugs, etc., and is an unfit father.
You can sign over the rights to your child to the mother herself. Before you do this realize what you are doing. Your child needs to know who their father is. You may not feel this is important right now, but to that child YOU will always be their father. If your girlfriend/wife is seeing another man and they should live together or get married, you have every right to see your child by the order of a Custody Hearing (such as: once each weekend, summer vacation and certain holidays.) The only reason you should give up your rights to custody is: Abuse of alcohol or drugs Not psychologically capable of this responsibility Refusing to pay child support Simply not wanting to be in your child's life. (be real sure of this one!) I would like to add that just because you have partial custody of your child does not tie you down from moving where you choose to move and you only have to see your child once a week and not even on holidays if this is your wish. All that should be expected from you is to be part of your child's life to let them know you love them. If you make a promise to do something with them then keep your promise! This child is part of who you are! Marcy
Depends on what is meant by abusing and how that affects the parent's ability to function.
Young mother of 15 chooses to live with her mother in New York, The mother is now in High School with very stable life and all the support for her baby from Mom Little brother and Step-Father. She is living in a house with her own room and her and her babys needs are all met. The Missssippi court says they have rights and wants the mother to live with her Biological Father who doesn't have a Job, is doing drugs and doesn't have a place to live. The Father doesn't even have a job. When she was with her father she wasn't going to school, the baby wasn't seeing the doctor or getting her shots. It was terrible, We spent over $1700.00 been to 3 court rooms and haven't seen a judge yet. The one making the ruling is a friend of the biological father and seems to be ruling in the fathers favor. What rights does the young mother have?
Absolutely, the baby needs to be away from the mother so baby can heal and give mother time to heal. The child in no way should be left with Mother until Mither is able to be clean and has proven it over time. It's best the child his only on supervised visits with parents until it's clean the family has healed and become one family unit. T.A
Unless the mother is considered an "unfit mother" (doing drugs, sleeping around, etc.) then the courts often leave the child with the mother. The courts take into consideration the welfare of the child and who is able to give the quality of time to the child. However, the father has the right usually to see their child, so, perhaps the court system will allow the child to see their father on holidays for a month or two out of the year. You really need a lawyer for this one. Marcy
Supervised
No. Giving a child drugs is child abuse and the person doing it can be arrested for drugs and child abuse.
yes the child's father has to notified. and they will ask the father and if he does not want to take the child then they will ask other family members and if no family members want the child then they go to the God parents and if the God parents cant take it then they take the child to a foster home
No, but the father can get the custody if he proves that the mother has bad habits like alcoholic or consume drugs.
Not necessarily. It depends on many factors which the judge will take into consideration before making a custody order.
When his father beat him as a kid
no
If there is joint custody of the child then the father should be told by the mother where she is going with the child and for how long. If the mother wants to live in another State the courts will have to decide visitation rights. Example: The father has may have the child one or two weeks during the summer; possibly Christmas or alternative Christmas', etc. If the father does not have joint custody then the mother can leave with the child to another State without his permission, but to be fair to the child the father should be informed unless the father has a criminal record; drugs, etc., and is an unfit father.
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.
You have to tell a trusted adult to solve the problem please don't tke it at any risk especially if your a kid
No, that is a different matter. The mother is not required to take a test for reasons that are obvious. In rare cases of physical abandonment or other such issues a DNA test might be ordered for the mother.
