Can a father with no legal custody have to consent to mother leaving state with child?
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.
When would one parent get sole custody of children?
If you are a father. You must prove the mother unfit, drugs, abuse, prison record, etc... IF you are a mother, depending on the state you live in they would allow soul custody because you are the mother. If the father is unfit and you live in Utah and/or California where they are for the father as well and want to do joint custody in most of those two states, the father must pretty much be unfit such as abuse, drugs and/or prison record for the mother to get full custody. That is pretty much when the only time I have known any parent to get full custody of their children.

If a boyfriend and girlfriend break up who gets custody of the child until they go to court?
The custody would be split, generally, between the parents. Usually the child's major home would be with the mother with adequate time with the father. However, if the father is exceptionally bad, such as a known convict, spent jail time, known to not hold down a job, drugs, etc, there would be less custody for him. Same with the mother, and if she is any of those things, the father would have the majority of the custody. If the two parents can not compromise on custody issues, then it is advisable they seek a court ruling.

If the the father is from the UK and the mother is from the US and the child is born in the US who gets custody of the child if the couple divorces?
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
