Custody and Placement are two different things entirely.
Simply put, placement merely refers to the place where the child resides.
Custody is the legal right and obligation to the oversight of the child. Joint custody means that both parents have rights to the child (access to medical records, etc.)
No. You haven't provided details as to legal custody but it sounds like there is a joint custody arrangement. Generally, in that case the parents must agree on the placement. You should also review your custody agreement or order to see if that issue is mentioned.No. You haven't provided details as to legal custody but it sounds like there is a joint custody arrangement.

Yes. If the biological parents are fit the court will give them custody first.
Either the biological parents have custody of a child oranother adult is appointed by the court as guardian. Generally, a court must remove legal custody from the parents in order to appoint a guardian. If the grandmother has custody she would be the legal guardian. Generally, parental custody and legal guardianship cannot run together.Either the biological parents have custody of a child oranother adult is appointed by the court as guardian.

Both biological parents have to sign their rights away or there will be no adoption.
Only if the court determines it would be in the best interests of the child to award such custody. The biological parents and/or an immediate relative of either would be considered before a person with no legal or biological ties to the child.
When it pertains to custodial issues related to minor children all US states have laws that allow for sole and joint custody by the biological parents.
No, not if there is a biological mother in the picture. A parent can name a guardian in their will but that request will not become operative if there is a surviving who hasn't been determined to be unfit. Under extraordinary circumstances grandparents can be appointed legal guardians but only if the remaining parent is unfit and the placement is in the best interest of the child.In this case the child will remain in the sole legal custody of her mother.
Dendends on the law of country you live in... and if your ex is actually the biological parent...
"A custody lawyer is typically used to help a parent and/or guardian negotiate child placement. When two or more parents disagree on who has the rights to the child, the also lawyer helps with legal issues and matters."
No, both biological parents are obligated to care for their child. However, it depends on the circumstances and the court orders in the case.
Whether you have custody of your own or someone elses child it's the biological parents that pay child support for their child. If they can not pay there is welfare.
It depends entirely on which state they live in - the federal government generally stays out of family law, and leaves it to the states. As such, each state has its own laws related to child custody. So, if you're in a state that allows for adoption by same-sex couples, and allows both partners to be listed as legal parents, the legal rights with respect to child custody should be exactly the same as a heterosexual married couple who are the biological parents of the child.
