How can you get residential custody of child as a single father?

A single father, what does that mean? Are you divorced, ever married to the mother of your child, or is the child adopted by you, or is the mother dead or out of the picture?

What is it about the mother or other parent that makes it harmful for the child to remain in their care?


How do you I file for sole custody of your son when you are not married to his father?

Is it a crime if a father forcefully take infant out of house without mother's consent?

If you mean that the father hit the mother, and that is the reason she left the father, then no, that is not grounds to obtain custody. The courts usually award custody to the mother, unless she is unable to care for the child, or if she has been proven an unfit parent. Hitting a woman, especially the mother of your child, may actually go against you in a custody suit against the mother, and the mother had every right to take the child and leave if the father of her child hit her. The courts may also look at it as if the father hits the mother, then he may hit the child, too.

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.


How does a mother get custody of her 14 year old if the father has custody?

By petitioning the court with jurisdiction for a modification in the custody order, wait for the court hearing and then provide compelling evidence and documentation why it would be in the best interests of the child for the mother to have custody. I would strongly recommend you obtain the services of an attorney experienced in family law to assist you.

Does your father have the right to take custody of you if you want to live with him?

No. He cannot obtain legal custody without a modification of the custody order by the court. He would need to petition for a change in custody. The court would review the petition and render its decision. It would be easier if your mother consents to the petition.
