Only the court can grant him custody and if they have done so you can not go against it unless he is unfit. The laws vary a bit between the states depending on how old the minor parent is but in general they have the same rights as adult parents.
Not if she is a suitable parent. The child have the right to both parents so shared custody is most likely.
That depends on the state. In many states, if both parents have equal custody, then both signatures would be required.
If the final divorce decree stipulates joint legal custody, neither parent can take the children out of state without the others permission.
If he is the one with primary custody or there's an agreement with your other parent, yes.
The custodial parent is the parent in which the child resides with. My son lives with me and I am the custodial parent, his dad has visitation rights and pays child support.
If you live in the US... Yes, Dad still has custody, unless he has voluntarily given legal custody to someone else or the court has awarded legal custody to someone else (normally only happens in cases where the parent has been proven to be unfit).
Generally no. A change in custody must be made by a court order.
They recently changed the laws of custody, No one parent has full custody UNLESS they see the other parent as unstable and unfit. If the parent you want to live with has been deemed unfit as a parent then it will have to be taken to court or you can contact certain child organizations to give you more details about how to leave your current home and return to the home of an "unfit parent" However if one parent obtained full custody of the child and the other parent was not deemed unfit as a parent, you may still live with them because of the recent change in custody laws, stating no one parent can have full or primary custody. (in other words, if your mom has full custody and your dad has none ((Also assuming the father hasn't been charged with being a drug addict, alcoholic, or financially unstable etc.)) you may live with the father)
I just found out tht my dad and step mom have custody of my son which I have not sign him over to them and my son lives with me I take care of him. What can I do?
Yes of course. Unless the custodial parent is unfit the judge would not just change it though but there is also shared custody. It's up to the court to decide.
If you live in the US... Unless Mom's parental rights (different thing than custodial rights) have been terminated or she can be proven unfit, she's first in line for custody, so if she wants custody, she will get it (no matter what Dad wants)
yes you can if your father has no problem with it but ofcourse if both of your parents has custody you can take them to court and chose wich one you rather live with.... ~by ur gal Kassandra~
