My first thought is, why did she give the children to the great aunt? In my opinion, that would matter. I do think that parents should have that right. If the children are young It might be easy. However,if the children are eight or older and they have a great relationship with their aunt it might cause some problems between the father & child. Make sure you are making a wise decision. Think of the children.
it depends on your custody papers and what they say... if you have joint custody NO.... if you have residential custody maybe with court allowing it.... if you have sole custody then you would need to inform him but you could leave!!!
If the father has legal custody, no. Not without his consent. If she has joint legal custody, no. Not without his consent. If she has sole legal custody, yes.If the father has legal custody, no.

Guardianship, provided father does not have First Right of Refusal. Even without it, he can file a challenge for custody.
Not without the permission of the child's biological mother. When a couple are not married and there is not a custodial order from the court, the law presumes that the mother has sole custody of the child in question.
Without a Will, he has no clearly defined custodial rights to a stepchild, but unless addressed in a custody decree, neither does the father. Guardianship reverts to the maternal grandparents.
If you were not married when the child was born you have to prove paternity in court by a DNA test and if she refuses you can get a court ordered one. Then you can petition for custody, visitation and pay child support. Unless the mother is unfit they will not give you full custody though.
No. If the biological parents have joint legal custody, the step mother has no legal authority over the child whatsoever.
No there is not. A minor can not move out without parental consent, emancipation by the court or through marriage.
I dont think so
Most likely not. If the mother had sole legal and physical custody and had the "step father" adopt the children without your knowledge - the adoption would be voidable. If he is illegally holding the children against your or their will, that is considered kidnapping in many states. Get the state involved.
You can go to court and file for divorce without his permission. Then once its started during the proceedings the custody and financial info will be decided.
No, not unless the male is the biological father of the minor child and has been granted full and sole custody with the biological mother's parental rights having been permanently terminated by the court.
