it means she has sole custody.
The parent who filed for custody is usually granted it, unless the judge feels it would be in the best interests of the child to rule otherwise.
If mom has legal custody, call the police.
if you are not there for the original custody case you can lose custody. The temporary is just until the court decides who gets custody.
He fights for custody.
He/she can file a motion for contempt of court, and if granted, a change of custody. I teach parents how to collect evidence and how to do this without the need of hiring an attorney. see link
That means you are breaking the law by breaking the court order and you can lose custody if you do not change.
You can appeal or accept the judgement.
WHY, were you denied joint custody? There must be some reason that a custodial parent would then be denied joint custody.
he is not a ward anymore if the decision to make him a ward does not stipulate it differently
The other parent could get sole custody.
Unless the biological father has relinquished custody, he can ask the court to grabt custody in case the mother dies or cannot take care of herself.
I suggest you return to court to get sole custody and an order for support, if there isn't already one in place.
