If the father has legal custody the child should live with him. What does the custody agreement say?
The courts will determine who gets custody of the child. The courts will consider what is in the best interest of the child.
They have no court standing
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.
can try, but they would not have standing
That is up to a court to decide. The father cannot take that action on his own. He need to petition for full custody. However, if the child has been in a stable and loving home, and well cared for, the court is not likely to terminate the mother's custody at this terrible time unless it can be proven the child is endangered or being neglected.That is up to a court to decide.

If the father doesn't have legal custody then he can get into a lot of trouble. He must send the child home and try to address the situation through the family court. He should not encourage the child's behavior not try to alienated the child from his mother.If the father doesn't have legal custody then he can get into a lot of trouble.

This is a legal question and an attorney should be consulted, however, visitation should be attainable, but full custody of one child, removing her from the family home where there are siblings would be doubtful. Unless there are compelling reasons for the child to be removed and custody given to the birth father, like abuse, the chances of full custody are nil.
If the child is being abused at home, I think that they could live somewhere else. I would call child wellfare. The only thing is, if the child is removed from the natural mothers home, I don't know that they would necessarily be put with the family the child wants to be with. Start making phone calls.
If she lives with you it sure could, especially if the child's father is fighting her for custody of the child. He will use your criminal background as evidence of the child being around a "bad influence."
Unless you are the mother or father of this child, the easiest way would be to make a report with Child Protective Services, who would evaluate the mother's home, if your accusations are founded, and can make a recommendation for a change in custody to the court.
well they would have to be adopted or the friend would have to be a foster home
