If a 16 year old child lives with his mother in New York but wants to live with his father also in New York what steps need to be taken?

An unmarried mother automatically has custody of her child. The father must take steps to establish his paternity legally.

Yes, either parent can take a child if there is no custody agreement set into place yet. The father will need to hire an attorney and fight the mother for custody in court if he thinks she is unfit.

father has 2 week visit for xmas...child admits to father that mother kisses his penis to make him feel better. also she breast fed him until he was almost 5 yrs old. now she askes him to kiss them for her. father is concerned about molestation and steps to take. is the child representing signs of molestation now?

Yes, unfortunately , he can. This will put the child in the Foster Care system, unless a Grandparent or other relative steps in to take care of the child.

It depends on what you want to do. If you don't mind about the father rarely visiting, then there are no steps to be taken. It really is a matter on what you want to do about the father rarely visiting his child.

This assumes you mean, "How does a father put himself on child support?": 1) establish paternity; 2) get legal custody of child; 3) petition courts for child support (all of these steps will require notice to the mother of the child).

An unmarried mother has sole legal custody of her child until the father takes the necessary steps to establish his paternity and obtain a custody order. He can request a visitation schedule through the court and the court will enter a child support order. If he does not take those steps and the mother relocates it will be more difficult for him to establish his rights.

This is a legal matter. The father must return to the court that issued the child support order and file a motion for contempt of a court order. He can explain in his motion how the mother is in violation. This is a legal matter.

I dont think that if the mother is happy, then the child is. Children who look to there parents don't have to tread in their foot steps. Or the other way round, if the mother is moody doesnt mean that the child is.

First hire a lawyer, then apply for legal custody.

Oh child support, well i am a single father of two tha i have raised by myself with an absent mother for the past13 yrs. in Indiana. She is suppose to pay support but doesn't. Back to your questions the court will probably make the father keep paying until someone pays for an attorney so the state or lawyers make more money from the parents and ultimately take from the children, to make sure the mother isn't going to change her mind and want the kids back. The father will have to pay until the court steps in and makes a judgment. How old are the kids and what state also depends Keep the best interest of the children first something dear to my heart jamie Davis

You haven't mentioned whether you are the mother or father. The following is general information. Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Remember, a child's mother can always be identified by medical records. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he can establish his paternity through a DNA test. A paternity test can be arranged through the court. Once paternity is established in court, the father can request visitations or custody through the court. If the mother retains physical custody she can request that the court issue a child support order. If the father gets physical custody he can request a child support order.

Assuming this person is the biological father, he would need to file a petition in the court of venue to voluntarily relinquish his paternal rights. If he meets the state TPR requirements and the judge finds the petition valid, his rights to the child/children will then be permanently terminated. He will then no longer be responsible for child support nor be allowed to participate in the child's/children's lives in any context.

The genes are going to work to even out. This would be like having a kid that is half the mother half the father.

If a man learns that a child is not his biological child, the next steps depend partly on the state laws and marital status. If a man was married to the mother of the child, and living with her at the time of conception or birth, then he is the unquestioned father of the child in nearly every state. Most states do not give a man an 'out' from child support if the child is later shown to be not his biological child. If a man and woman were not married, and she conceives and places the man's name on the birth certificate as father, or after birth tells state agencies that he is the father, there is more room for change. If the man demands paternity testing and DNA or other tests conclusively prove the child is not his, he can petition to have his name taken off the birth certificate in most states, and can petition the family court to remove the child support order from him.

No. However, if the alleged father has signed the birth certificate, he is acknowledging that the child is his. There are steps to take in order to be taken off of the birth certificate and relieved of the obligation of child support, including a paternity test and an amendment to the birth certificate.

== You and your father should go to the office of the new school and fill out a request to have your records transferred from the old school. This is the way they verify that you are not dropping out, but have moved to a new address and wish to remain in school. You will most likely need your Father to sign a statement that your are indeed living with him.

Parents can not sign over their rights permanently. They can go to court and ask to have them terminated but they usually only allow that in case of adoption. In this case, if no father is not known and no other relative steps up, the child will go to foster care IF the court would allow her to terminate her rights.

The first step would be to establish legal paternity. This requires filing documents in court and is typically accomplished through DNA testing which can be done voluntarily with the alleged father's consent. If he does not consent, the mother can petition the court to order the putative father to submit to testing. Once paternity has been established, the father can then choose to pay child support and request visitation rights or he can choose to terminate his parental rights. In some cases, the termination of rights would also end the obligation for child support, especially if the mother has remarried and her new husband wishes to adopt the child. Some courts will also allow the mother to agree that she no longer needs the financial support. However, there are just as many cases where the father is allowed to terminate his rights but must continue to pay support for the child. Remember, the court always uses the "best interest of the child" standard and if it is deemed that the financial support is needed, then the father is responsible until the court says otherwise. If the father chooses to keep his parental rights, the court will issue an order to address child support, custody and visitation arrangements. In the event that paternity can't or hasn't been established, the court will not order the alleged father to pay child support. He can however, voluntarily choose to accept the responsibility.
