If a mother with a child enters rehab to fix her problems can the father get full custody where they already have joint custody?
It really depends. I think that the mother and father should have full custody. I say this because the mother is doing this to get better, for the benefit of her kids. Some might argue that she should not have custody because why would she had to go to rehab in the first place. It really depends. I think that the mother and father should have full custody.

Father threatens to take baby from fit mother. What grounds could my husband have to take the baby away from me if I chose to divorce?
He has no grounds unless you are doing something that will hurt the child or anything that will break the rules of the law. If you are working and have a place to go and can afford food and clothing the only thing he could get from you is maybe joint custody. Just hold your grounds and be careful in all you do because he can make a case over little things. Just watch what he does also because you could have a case also.
What if your child does not want to visit with the mother?
Unfortunately, legally, it's not his decision & you can actually get into a lot of trouble if you do not honor the custody agreement; you can completely lose custody if you do not make sure the child & you are not doing what you need to be doing.
What are an unwed fathers rights to his child?
Until paternity is established the birth mother is considered to hold sole custody of a minor child. For a father to have custodial or visitation rights it must be agreed on by the mother of the child or through the prescribed court procedures by means of a lawsuit.
How can you get custody for your unborn child if you know that its yours?
No one apart from the mother can obtain "custody" of a fetus. Custody battles must wait until the child has been born. You can file for paternity testing, although it would probably be best to wait until the child is born before doing that. If the tests prove the child is yours, you can then file for custody. Due to physical restrictions, I would assume that a father can't get custody of an unborn child.
Can a father keep a child from the mother if she is granted physical custody?
It depends on the situation. If the mother is unfit (using drugs, alcoholic, partying, leaving the child alone, etc.) then yes, he could fight her through the court system and probably win. If she is a good mother and the courts have said he can't have visitation rights then he has to abide by the law or seek legal counsel to try and have this request reversed. If the courts have ordered total custody to the mother and the father kept the child(vice-versa) then it could be considered kidnapping! Marcy Parental abduction is the charge used when the non-custodial parent takes a child w/o permisson or refuses to return a child to the custodial parent after visitation. Parental abduction is a civil matter not a criminal one and the custodial parent will need to seek an order of requisition from the court to have the minor child returned. When such a petition is filed a DFS/CPS investigation is automatically instigated. The findings of the investigation will determine what custodial rights are granted (if any) to either parent. Thanks for the input. I'm in Canada and I know our laws are different. We call it plain old "kidnapping" here. Sorry to use some wrong terms off and on, but, the point is made. Your post was interesting and thanks. Marcy
Can a twenty-one year old get custody of their fifteen year old sibling if the mother is dead and the father beats the fifteen year old?
I believe the answer is YES as long as the 21 year old proves to be capable of doing so.

Age 18 or out of school. But, by doing so, you forfeit the benefits provided under Arizona law that extend beyond age 18 and high school. California cuts off at age 18.
