The rights of the natural father depends on if the father has given up his rights or not. If he has not given up his rights, he has the same rights as the mother, or as outlines in the custody order.
If the "step-father" has adopted the child, then the step father has all the rights that are normally afforded to a biological parent. If the "step-father" never adopted the child, he has no more rights legally then someone walking in off the street.
Get over it..the kid doesnt want you!
yes
what type of mother would want this to happen ..if he is good enough to have joint custoday of his kids then why in the world would you want to give your kids to someone other then him
A boyfriend or stepfather has no legal right to the child so no, you can not.
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.
Not choose, but in Pennsylvania, a stepfather can file for custody.
No, not unless the court grants the father custody.
In order for the stepfather to gain custody in the event of the mother's death, there would first have to be a number of circumstances. If the father is no longer in jail, has a job, home, and a means to provide the children a safe, stable environment, he would likely be the one to get custody. Having a criminal history doesn't necessarily make a parent unfit. But if he were to sign consent for the stepfather to adopt the children, then the stepfather would get custody.But if the stepfather has not adopted the children, there is also the fact of grandparents, aunts and uncles, in addition to the father, who would possibly try to get custody if the stepfather has not already adopted the children.The best thing to do would be to talk to an attorney and find out what your options are. You should also talk to your family and let them know your wishes should something happen to you.
the father gets the custody of the child if the mother dies
Perhaps, it depends upon the probate succession laws in the state where the property is located. This would only apply if the stepfather does not leave a will indicating the beneficiaries of the property.
No, but the father can get the custody if he proves that the mother has bad habits like alcoholic or consume drugs.
