Yes, if the courts so rule. It's easier with the father's permission, but it can be done without it if the court feels it would be in the child's best interests to so rule.
He can still gain custody as the presumptive father.
As unfortunate as this may be it is possible for the father to get custody of the baby, but not full custody unless the mother is proven unfit. Because reguardless of what happened between the couple the father is still the father of the child, and the father still has his rights as a father to be a part of his child's life.
That does not mean you have full custody. Even though the father is not around you should still go for full custody. Theres always that chance the father could back around and that child is not with you he has just as much right to that child as you do.
You would need approval to return to the country to file a challenge.
Yes, he is still the father. It's just that the child is not living with him.
yes
No, if they are married they have equal custody.
Yes. He would have to petition the court for custody.
No. If there's a court order against the father, which resulted in any kind of arrears, the father is still responsible for it. Arrears are paid and there's no statute of limitations on it, as well as, any support and/or custody modifications.
Why not? It's still your child. Who has the child the father with mental problems or the custodial parent? Still if the father has mental problem and he fathered a child...yes he does have to pay child support. Was the father with mental problems receiving some type of disability for his mental problems? If so he is still responsible for paying child support. Does the father have custody of the child? Somebody needs to go back to court ad petition the court.
Yes, if the relationship breaks down and one leave they still have a chance for custody depending on the circumstances and how long they are gone etc.
Yes, if the father is not given custody he will be obligated to keep paying support to whomever the court awards custody or guardianship of the children.
