No. You can petition the court and request that your information be kept sealed and confidential. You can obtain help and free information at your local domestic violence center.
Through a preponderance of the evidence presented to the judge
Through a lawyer.
Yes. The grandparent will need to go through the proper legal channels, but if he or she can prove that the biological parent is abusive and unfit to be the child's guardian, they can win custody.
My husband had this happen to him..... The mother had sole custody, she died in a car accident. Father picked her up and now had sole custody of her. We called around to different attourneys to see if we had to do anything through the courts to get sole custody, and we were told that due to bio mother dying biodad instantly got sole custody. Now if he didn't want sole custody then a near relative could petition the court for sole custody. Hope that helps some.
most likely he will lose his rights til the judge decides what is best for the child.
My husband is going through a custody battle in Florida right now and we filed seven months ago and there is no hearing as yet... Still working through the preliminary "stuff" and custody has not been even heard as yet with no scheduled date for a hearing. I know some states there is a law that states custody hearings are given the utmost importance... Florida apparently is not one of them.
Yes, in most states your husband is considered to be a legal guardian of your son along with yourself. This varies depending on how the custody of the child is set up through the courts if there has been a divorce.
Should, but in and of itself, no. But, it is dependent on who you're shacking up with and if it creates an unsafe environment. The best way to address this issue is through bird nest custody. see links below
If the abuse is not physical, but mentally abusive; and you feel the children are not safe with him. Then you must simply file for divorce. There will be a custody hearing but if you present your side stating you feel the children are better off with you, chances are you will win. you must prove the children are better off with you and that you can provide for them. most judges feel the children are better of with the mom anyway so you have an advantage there. Chances are the children have either overheard or witnessed the abuse occur. If he really battles you for custody, the children may be consulted by a social worker to assess which parent will be a better fit for the children. As far as leaving him, Consult a friend on what plan of action to take. Theres always family too, you'll need some form of support to really get through this time.
You would use the first name of the husband and the first name of the wife. This is how you address a Japanese married couple through a letter.
It took me nearly six years to get out of my relationship with my ex-husband. He was incredibly abusive. The only way I've found that I've been able to successively keep myself away from my ex is to make sure I prosecuted him through the court system. I also got a full order of protection (aka restraining order) against him. I finally went through with my divorce. And, I called on all my friends and family for support. There are days I want to just walk right back into the entire situation, but I have to look at what it did to me. In the relationship, I lost myself. Once you rid yourself of an abusive husband, the most important thing is to find YOURSELF again. Once you find yourself, you will find the courage to stay out of his life.
* If the father has full custody of the children, yes. * If he has partial or shared custody with the mother, it may be a violation of parental rights; that area is quite dicey, so talk to a lawyer. * If the father has no custody but does have visiting rights, then again, talk to your lawyer. * If the father has no rights to the children, then there is no crime committed.
