Even if all three of you can agree that this is alright, the court should still be notified so that there is not a problem in the future. The parents would still have joint custody, but if there is child support to the mother, that would have to be addressed. Going through the court would keep that from becoming an issue should things go bad as divorces often do.
If it's ordered by the court, yes.
No, there is still a parent left with custody. And custody can never be willed. That is for the court to decide. The ones in the will can ask for custody but it is up to the court.
You could file for a court date that will address the fact that he is living so far away and that you do not believe that he should maintain joint custody but unless they choose to change the verdict then he still has joint custody.
Yes, unless the court order explicitly states otherwise.
No, you still need his permission. The court order says joint custody and if you take the child out of the country you make that impossible to work and therefor break the court order. That last part just means that wherever you go, you still have custody. Otherwise you could go on vacation abroad and lose custody just because you are out of the country even though you have his written permission to take the child with you. Your ex of course also needs your written permission if taking his child out of state or country.
Yes, either from the other teen parent, or the teen's parents, which can be either the teen mother or father, depending on which has court ordered custody. Child support may not be ordered if the teen parent has joint physical custody, which is best for the child.
No they cannot unless they have a court order that says they have temporary custody.
Of course. If she has physical custody and your child is still your child then you must pay child support until your child support order has been modified by the court. A new spouse is not respondible for supporting non-biological children.
No, see link
No. If there's a court order against the father, which resulted in any kind of arrears, the father is still responsible for it. Arrears are paid and there's no statute of limitations on it, as well as, any support and/or custody modifications.
If you have not had your rights terminated and you still have joint custody you are entitled to visitation as set up by the court. If you have not been to court before over vistation and your name is on the birth certificate you still have the right to go get your child even if she has put the step-parent as caregiver. If you don't have your custody and she has full custody you may go to court and fight for your rights more than likely if you haven't lost custody over your acts then you will be awarded partial or joint custody so you could keep the child while she was in the military. Im in law school that's what rights you'd have in my state
Yes, it is possible. You should visit or call the family court where the custody was ordered. You can obtain copies of any court orders as long as the case is still on file.
