Can you adopt a child if you lost custody of yours 20 yearsago?

That entirely depends on the circumstances when you lost yours. I suggest you ask them directly and let them hear your side. Some states are very specific about interviewing the parents and others are not. Make sure you get a real interview so you can explain your side and hear what they have to say.

How can you get custody for your unborn child if you know that its yours?
No one apart from the mother can obtain "custody" of a fetus. Custody battles must wait until the child has been born. You can file for paternity testing, although it would probably be best to wait until the child is born before doing that. If the tests prove the child is yours, you can then file for custody. Due to physical restrictions, I would assume that a father can't get custody of an unborn child.
Process to adopt a child?
Tell me the process of adopting a child not yours in a marriage. The biological father is deceased.
What if your not related to the child but she has been living with you for almost a year what can be done to legally make her yours?
You file a Child In Need of Care Motion with the court along with temporary custody pending a full hearing. Issues of access and child support will need to be addressed. If you're desiring to adopt, this gets much more complicated and will require the advice of an attorney.
Do a father have to adopt his child after the father n mother of the child gets married n the child has the mothers last name?
You can't adopt a child who's biologically yours. If you have not already done so, I suggest that you ask the court for an order finding that you are the father. You will probably have to sign an acknowledgment of paternity or undergo genetic testing to accomplish this.
If the mother cheats on her husband who gets custody?
With the American legal system, if the children are young the female will most likely get custody.
In Mo what are your odds of losing child to father if you have moved many times due to income and you have joint legal custody and child is temporarily with his grandma to stay in same school district?
You wouldn't be losing the child. The best interest of the child is being met through the transfer of custody to the father. Anything is not placing the child's interests above yours. If you are having these problems, perhaps you should consider it, or the alternative. see link
Can your alien boyfriend adopt your US citizen child if he lives in the US and has a Visa?
Your boyfriend can not adopt your child while he also remains yours. It does not matter if he is a US citizen, legal alien or illegal alien. For him to do that he would need to marry you. The license would cost $35.00 and you would each need a picture ID.
What if you sign your rights back over to a child that is not biologically yours?
I hope your lawyer explained to you what you were doing. In this state, you can not legally disinherit a child you once adopted. What else you mean I have no idea. You might mean you are letting someone else adopt the child. That is probably acceptable.
Can you get benefits if you have temp custody of a non relative child?
I think you have asked this before, but there are all sorts of benefits some of which may be given to a person with temporary legal custody. What kind are you referring to? Food stamps? Child support? Medicaid? Foster parent stipend? You also have to provide your state of residence and the child's legal state of residence if different from yours. Your question is too vague otherwise.
What does temporary legal custody mean?
Temporary custody is the precursor to the final decision. Therefore, if you have been awarded temporary custody, this may not be the final decision by the judge. The judge will take in all considerations and issue a permanent order that will state the custody arrangements.
How can you get out of child support?
If the child is biologically yours you cannot get out of child support. Why would you not want to take care of your child? And if the isn't yours i think u should still treat it like it was yours!!
If you sign over your parental rights to a child in Maryland do you still have to pay child support?
Yes. Parental rights are yours and you can sign them away. You cannot, however, sign away the child's rights, and one of those rights is the right to support. If you're signing away your rights so that someone else may adopt the child, once they do so you should be absolved from the responsibility to keep paying child support.
