Does a father have the same legal rights to a child if neither has custody in Louisiana and the mother took the child to another state?

No. If you are not married the mother have custody automatically since birth. The only way for the father to get it is by proving paternity in court and he can then petition for custody, visitation and pay child support. Until then he can not stop her and the child form leaving. If you are married she can also leave with the child and so could you since you both have equal right to the child then.

If a boyfriend leaves his pregnant girlfriend could he get custody of the baby?

As unfortunate as this may be it is possible for the father to get custody of the baby, but not full custody unless the mother is proven unfit. Because reguardless of what happened between the couple the father is still the father of the child, and the father still has his rights as a father to be a part of his child's life.


If you are unmarried and the father of your child does not like your current partner could he obtain primary custody in Pennsylvania?

Not on the grounds cited in the question. The father could petition the court for custodial rights assuming he has established paternity. Unmarried women are presumed under the laws of all US states to have sole custody of their child unless a court rules otherwise. It is possible that the father could obtain joint custody and most assuredly visitation rights, but primary or sole custody would not be likely, even concerning a matter of cohabitation. This would not necessarily be the case for children born out of a marriage.

Could my 16 year old girlfriend sign the rights of our baby to me if im 17 years old in the state of Texas?

She can have her rights terminated by the court if they and you agree to it. If you mean custody you have to (unless you have already done this) go to court and prove paternity and then you can ask for custody and also for her to pay child support. Terminating her rights does not mean she don't have to pay child support. Minor parents have the same rights as adult ones.


How long does a man have to go without any contact with the child before you could file for sole custody and or terminate his parental rights?

There is no hard and fast rule. The Court must determine that it is in the best interest of the child that parental rights be terminated. Contact with the child is considered, but many other issues are also considered.
