A: If you have $20,000 for legal fees, you can. Depends on the age of the child, circumstances of the divorce/separation.For instance in the US,In custody cases involving children under 13,the judge decides who is the better fitting parent. Above 13, the child chooses. Also, her being a lesbian has no bearing on custody.
If you need support there are several support groups for fathers online.
A bit of advice though: Make sure you do whats right for the child ;)
You need the services of a lawyer, not some random person on answers.com. An initial consultation should be free of charge.
you get it for her.
She has sole custody of her child in all states.
no
you bet. becoming 18 gives the "adult" permission to live wherever he/she wants. he/she is nobody's custody.
For 1) are you in custody of your daughter? If you are in full custody you could take her to court for kidnapping is your EX mother in law in custody of your daughter? Do you have joint custody? If your ex mother in law has no custody over your daughter you could take her to court, she is not authorized to take care of your child.
Assuming Dad has custody, then he would have to agree to let daughter move in with you OR you would have to petition the court for a change of custody.
no because your sister has custody of you your mom doesnt have to know she is no longer your parent or gaurdian
YES, IF SHE HAS SOLE CUSTODY OF THE CHILD AND THERE WAS NO AGREEMENT TO STAY IN THAT STATE. OR IF NEITHER PARENT HAS LEGAL CUSTODY EITHER PARENT COULD DO THAT
Not without your permission and the permission of the court that assigned custody.
that depends on if the mother has custody over her daughter or not. It also depends on how old the daughter is. If she is under the legal age limit, then the mother is still responsible and makes all decisions for her. If the mother does not have full custody over the daughter, then the mother and the father of that child must come to an agreement on the living whereabouts of the daughter. If the mother has legal custody over the daughter and the daughter is not of legal age yet, then yes, the mother can bring the daughter over too.
This depends on where you live. And no, I think he has to give up his parental rights.
They do not have to give up custody. They should appoint a guardian to represent them.
