State law may vary, but in general, minors who are pregnant or have a child retain all the legal rights to said child as does an adult female unless a court rules otherwise.
In most states the age of majority is 18, meaning, yes, the mother has guardianship as well as responsibility. Check the state laws for the appropriate place.
Yes. The child is still a minor.
Since she's the one with guardianship, no; however you can have guardianship transferred to him...
Mother files motion for custody
File a petition for guardianship in the appropriate court.
If the legal parents agree, have them sign over temp guardianship of the 17 year old. The parents can at any time change this guardianship (with notice to you via noterized letter). If you take guardianship, you must note that ALL expenses (school, medical...) are YOUR responsibility and no support is expected by legal parents (just how it works).
They would need to be under a legal guardianship and the parents under a child support order.
It would be based on the state's age of majority, which is 18, so the 17 year old cannot terminate guardianship.
Well.... The person who has legal guardianship is the person who has LEGAL guardianship. If the mother has custody, no matter where that child moves (untill their 17th or 18th birthdate dependant on the state), the mother will always have custody. The only way to change it is through the courts. * If a custodial order has not been issued by the court that stipulates otherwise, both biological parents have equal custodial rights.
if you have family problems you should be able to move out when your 17 as long as you have a place to go.
If he wants go with that family member. He is grown folk!
hi child under 17 years old if they 7,6,8,9. child they are kids from courtney-may Aimee young and my mum said ''courtney is a child''.
Probably not. Having a child doesn't qualify one as an adult.
Yeah. There is nothing wrong with that.
