The parents have to go back to court to file a modification of the custody order. They should also terminate any child support order that obligates the father to pay child support

Father and Mother are not married when Mother decides she does not want to be a Mom then abandons the Father and Child. Does the Father have legal rights for full custody?
The father must establish his paternity through the courts since he and the mother were not married. He can petition for full custody. He should consult with an attorney who specializes in custody issues. The mother's abandonment can certainly be used as evidence that the father should receive legal custody. He is providing the day to day care of the child.The father must establish his paternity through the courts since he and the mother were not married. He can petition for full custody.

If you are underage and pregnant and no longer with the baby's father who gets sole custody?
I believe that the mother should get custody and she gives the father a schedule to be on.
Can a father who has joint physical custody of his son be granted sole physical custody if the mother is in jail?
Either parent can have physical custody in a joint custody arrangement. If there is a court order granting the mother physical custody the father should notify the court of the mother's incarceration and have that order modified unless he wants the mother to resume physical custody when she is released.
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.

In Texas when the child's mother dies does the joint custody father get custody?
Properly, yes, however there can be complications. If the mother names some other person guardianship, the father could be facing an expensive custody challenge. This issue should be clarified in the custody orders. see links below
How can an unmarried mother obtain authorization to take her young son overseas if she and the child's father have never been married or established custody and the father will not sign the forms?
If the father is named on the birth certificate then the mother will have to file a writ of habeas corpus to request sole custody of the child. The father will be notified of the action and will be given a chance to contest it. The court will then rule as to which parent should retain custody or if it should be shared and if the child can be taken outside of the country. If father is not named on the child's birth certificate all the mother must do is present the birth cerificate at the time she applies for a passport for the child.

Can a child live with his father if the mother has parental responsibilty?
If a child's mother has sole custody then the courts have decided this and there is a reason for it. Generally, if the mother is a good mother (fit mother) then the children will be looked after by her with the father having partial custody to see his children. If the father is unfit, then the mother would have full custody. If you are the child asking the question and are upset because your mother has house rules and you don't always agree with them then this is not a good reason to want to live with your father. Your mother gives you these responsibilities so you will learn good characteristics that will make your life a whole lot simpler. You may not see that now, but will in the future. If this is the father asking the question and you have partial custody the courts have deemed it this way for a reason. If the mother is unfit and the father wants to take full custody then you should retain a lawyer asking for full custody.

If the mother has legal and physical custody of the child does it matter that the father tried to kill the mother in front of the child?
Of course it matters. The attack should have been reported to the police and the father should be prosecuted.
In Kentucky can the father who is only available a day and a half a week request fifty percent physical custody and leave our child with his parents the rest of the time?
He can request it but the mother should raise an aggressive objection. There is no reason for the child to be away from their mother and in the care of someone other than their other parent just so the father can establish 50% custody to minimize child support payments. The mother should consult with an attorney who specializes in custody issues. It will be a good investment in the future.He can request it but the mother should raise an aggressive objection.
