Technically in cases where there is no order of custody possesion is 9/10ths of the law IF both parents are legally recognized to be parents (i.e. have signed the birth certificate). However if one parent has had primary physical custody of the child following a separation and has been responsible for the majority of the care for the child the court may not look kindly on the other parent hijacking custody. The best thing to do is file for temporary custody before actually keeping the child.
If you are not married and there is no custody or visitation order, she has custody automatically. The father have to prove paternity in court by a DNA test and then petition for custody or visitation. He can then also pay child support.
If the parents are unmarried and there is no custody order then nothing happens. The father needs to establish his paternity legally and request custody and/or visitations. The court will also issue a child support order. If there is no marriage to establish legal status then the parties must establish legal relationships and custody by court orders.
yes, if you have a court ordered custody schedule and she is not letting you see the kids when it's your time. You can bring her back to court.
You need to bring a court action to establish paternity legally. Once you have supplied the information about the father to the court, it can order the proposed father to submit to a DNA test. Once paternity is established you can request a child support order and the court will set the amount according to state child support guidelines. The father can request joint custody and/or a visitation schedule.You need to bring a court action to establish paternity legally.

No. There are no provisions in the laws of Georgia that provide step-parents with visitation rights. A step-parent has no legal standing. They would need to bring suit and take their chances with a judge.
Sure, once you reach the age of majority. Until then, as long as your parents have custody, they get to decide where you live.
Only with a court order. If you feel the mother would present a danger to the child during visitation, you must file for a modification to visitation based on the same and wait for the judge to rule on it. If time is an issue, you can file for an emergency order. Otherwise, if you refuse the mother access to her child as outlined in the original visitation order, you risk being found in contempt of court and that can bring fines and/or jail time.
Yes unless your court order stipulates that you cannot move outside a certain mile limit or if you share joint custody. If it is normal custody law permitting the other parent to have visitation it should state who has to pick up and bring back. Unless for certain special circumstances you should be able to move out of state also. LOOk at your papers.
Yes, provided the parent remembers the purpose of the visitation, and the friends do not draw attention from it.
The time frame should have been stated by the judge when custody was awarded.
