If the mother is found by the court to be a more suitable guardian than the father, then yes, she can.
The mother assumes automatic custody, unless she is unfit.
Generally, if married he has custody rights equal to the mother unless she has brought a petition for sole custody in his absence. If he is not married his custody rights must be established by a court order.
Since there is no court order and you were never married it is the mother that have custody. He can be charged with kidnapping.
If you are married to the mother, no. Then you share everything naturally. But if you have a child and you are separated or not married to the mother, and you do not have custody of the children, you have to pay child support
No. If your mother has sole legal custody she can consent to your getting married.
wife
Can i get custody of two children i have cared for since their mother 1 yr ago children are not related to me
See to that she gets temporary custody asap. They both have equal rights to the kids as long as they are married.
If you are not married the custody automatically falls on the mother and the father have to go to court to get visitation or custody. If you are married you have equal rights.
No, although most courts favor custody to the mother.
Depends on the circumstances. If you are a single father, without court orders, the mother still has sole custody and control. If married, you have possession, however if you file for child support, you have a presumption of custody.
How can you best gain custody of your children who are currently living with their mother and the mother is a drug dealer
