In cases where the biological parents are not married the law presumes that the mother has sole custody rights. The father would have to establish paternity to the satisfaction of the court before custody, visitation or child support issues could be addressed. In cases that pertain to a child born in a marriage both parents are assumed to have equal rights until the court rules otherwise. If one parent filed for sole custody the other would be notified and would have the legal right to contest the action.
i have a son in my custody what is the law in the phillipines about child custody if a child abandoned by his father
If the grandmother has custody
If He Have Full Custody Then He Doesn't Have To .
Yes, she can. All she has to do is press suit to have custody awarded, or convince him to give her custody.
There are no black and white answers to questions like this one. It would all depend on why the mother doesn't have custody, why the sister does, why the father doesn't, and your state's laws.
Either parent can have physical custody in a joint custody arrangement. If there is a court order granting the mother physical custody the father should notify the court of the mother's incarceration and have that order modified unless he wants the mother to resume physical custody when she is released.
yes
That depends on the custody order, but she can file for a change of custody.
If the son wants to I believe he can. In my state (Georgia) the child can choose who he/she wants to live with at the age of 14.
well by law, he is now a adult, so he can make his own decissions, but i do not think his father can no longer get custody because he is 18, but im not 100% sure
Sole Custody until ruled on otherwise. The Glass Ceiling for fathers.
establish custody
