No. If the parent is a fugitive then the child is in danger. If the situation is brought to the attention of the court that has jurisdiction the court can issue an order that terminates that parent's legal custody. If the authorities can catch up with the child they can take physical custody away from the fugitive and kidnapping will be added to the charges.

How do you find out who has custody of a inmate while being extradited. how do you find out if there are going to be new charges filed?

The jurisdiction which learned he was a wanted fugitive and arrested him will have him in their custody until such time as the extradition order (Governor's Warrant) is delivered by the jurisdiction which wants him. The extraditing state may send a team of agents/officers to take custody of him and transport them back - OR - the 'wanting' state may use the services of a private company to do the actual transportation. When the arrestee arrives back in the 'wanting' state it is likely that, in addition to whatever they were wanted for in the first place, the charge of being a 'Fugitive from Justice' will likely be added to it.


Who has custody of a minor when a custodial order has not been issued by the court?

If there is no court order and the parents are married, then both parents share custody 50/50. They should come up with a parenting plan while legal custody is being determined. If one parent feels they should have custody for whatever reason, then go to the courthouse and file for temporary custody. The parent who does this is most likely to keep the kids in the settlement. Losing the kids temporarily doesn't look good and it is an uphill battle to get them back.

In Illinois if father has residential custody is he allowed to make medical decisions?

You would need to look at the part of your custody paperwork that pertains to legal custody. Full legal custody to one parent means that they are solely responsible for legal decisions such as medical care, while joint legal custody means that either parent can make those decisions while the child is in their care. In a joint legal custody both parents have equal say and any differences of opinion may need to be settled by the court.


How do you change who has custody if there never was a court order?

You would need to petition the court in the county of jurisdiction (where the child legally resides) for a custody order. Once one is established, the parents would have to fight it out in court for any modifications including removing custody of the parent who currently has physical and presumed (thus legal) custody. The judge will ultimately rule what he or she feels is in the best interests of the child and that may include leaving the current custody intact while outlining visitation/support obligations for the non-custodial parent, rule for joint custody, or transfer custody to the other parent.
