How do grandparents get custody of their grandchild if the parent disagrees and the parent put the child out and the child doesn't want to go back and live with the parent?

What happens when you are taken to court for joint custody?

The other parent has filed a petition for joint custody. They want to have the right to be included in decisions regarding the child and perhaps want equal physical custody also. There will be a hearing. If you presently have sole custody and object to the other parent being awarded joint custody then you should consult with a attorney who specializes in custody issues who can represent you in the action.The other parent has filed a petition for joint custody.

If you have joint custody, there is one parent that is the custodial parent. A child can move in with you if you are the custodial parent or you can file in court to change your status to the custodial parent. The child should want to live with you as well.


What right does a parent with no custody have over you?

Whatever rights are granted by the custody order. If the custody order specifies "visitation", then you have to visit. It's not an "if you want to" thing, it's a "have to" thing.


If a parent has sole custody can the other parent visit whenever they want?

Only if that arraignment was made in the custody part of the divorce settlement. If it wasn't so stipulated, then the non-custodial parent must patition the divorce court for a new custody hearing.


If custodial parent doesnt want child support does non custodial parent lose parental rights?

no


If One parent has full custody but child wants to live with noncustodial parent?

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)

Can i live with my mom even though my dad doesnt want me to. i am 16 and live in California?

You are required to live with the parent that your custody decree awarded custody to. It doesn't matter what you want. If your dad has custody and you run away to live with your mom instead, it's even possible your mom could go to jail for this. If you think you can convince a court that it's in your best interest to modify the custody decree and award your mother custody instead, then you can always get a lawyer to petition the court to revise the custody decree.


Does the farther still has to pay child support if the other parent want sole custody?

The second parent may want sole custody, but it is up to the court to grant it. The father has to pay whatever amount the court has ordered regardless of how much time if any he spends with the child.
