Can you give temporary guardianship of your child with a notarized letter to your mom while he's in state custody and how?

You cannot award custody of your child if he is in state custody, only the state can do that. However, your mother can file a motion in the court with jurisdiction requesting guardianship of the child. A hearing will be held and an investigation conducted by the state's social security division in charge of child welfare to determine whether or not such a placement would be in the child's best interests. Depending on the law where you reside and the circumstances surrounding your child being remanded to the care of the state, your permission may or may not be required for guardianship to be awarded and again, depending on state law may (or may not depending) need to be secured before such an action is initiated, filed with the motion or presented in court during the hearing.

Most state have criminal laws against this type of action. Also, why he threw his son out is an important factor.

Can someone who has legal custody of a child receive food stamps if the child has not lived with them for a year?

For the child, no; for themselves, yes.You should consider that if the child is not living with you you must provide that information on the application or renewal. You can be prosecuted for falsifying the information you provide. You can only get food stamps for a child in your legal custody if you can say the child lives with you.Also, if custody was removed from the parents by a court, and granted to you, and you allow that child to live back with the parents, you may be held liable for any harm that comes to the child because of your failure to take your legal responsibilities seriously. In my state, grandparents with guardianship allowed their daughter to take back custody of her toddler after the child was removed by the state because of child abuse. The child was subsequently fatally injured by its father and the grandparents are also being prosecuted. You should notify the court that your "guardianship" should be terminated.

Can a parent who owes back child support be held in contempt of court?

The court would be unlikely to reward the non-support of a child by taking custody from the custodial parent and granting custody to the delinquent parent. There must be a compelling reason for the court to make such a drastic change in the child's living arrangement. You should consult with an attorney who can review your situation and explain your options.

How can you obtain custody of your step brother?

Since you didn't give your location, my reply is based on laws in the United States and are very general as procedures may vary depending on the state where your step brother legally resides. You cannot do this if you are a minor, unless you have been emancipated by the courts. If you are not a minor, you would follow your state's procedure for filing a motion for custody or modification to an existing custody order. A hearing would be held, an investigation by social services conducted, and based on that, the judge would rule on whether such a placement would be in the best interests of the child.
