Usually this is taken before a judge and in some cases the judge would rather see the parents of the baby married. It depends on a lot of things. No, you can't get married at 15 even if your boyfriend's mother agreed to it. Marcy
Yes, if the father signs an acknowledgment of paternity.
Unless the stepfather has legally adopted the children, he has no built-in legal right to them.
Your mother is marring your grandfather? uhh.
Yes. If there is no court order the father has no legal right to keep the children from their mother. If the parents were never married the mother has custody until the father has established his paternity legally through a court action. If married, both parents have equal parental rights.
If they are legally married, the father gets rights until mother gets out of prison, after that it is up to the state. If not legally married, they go into state custody.
Yes. Your step-father is who he is to you because he married your mother. If you married his mother, you would be his step-father. Strange but true.
As far as I know, the legal obligations are the same as if you were married to the mother for 20 years before she got pregnant. If you are the father, then you are the father and that means you are legally and financially responsible for that child.
If you are married to the mother, no. Then you share everything naturally. But if you have a child and you are separated or not married to the mother, and you do not have custody of the children, you have to pay child support
Get a good family law lawyer.
If he is married to the child's mother the decision is theirs to make, but if he is not married to her the mother decides the child's last name.
Nope, only if you are married to him
When a woman is pregnant only she can legally decide what happens to her body and the fetus.
