Go to the courthouse and ask for your case to be heard. Then present your reasons in front of a judge, and they will decide whether they are good enough to warrant restricting or removing the other guardian's custody rights.

What happens when you are taken to court for joint custody?

The other parent has filed a petition for joint custody. They want to have the right to be included in decisions regarding the child and perhaps want equal physical custody also. There will be a hearing. If you presently have sole custody and object to the other parent being awarded joint custody then you should consult with a attorney who specializes in custody issues who can represent you in the action.The other parent has filed a petition for joint custody.

Father and mother never married children born in Florida father now lives in Georgia does he have to legitimize them in Georgia to have them come live with him?

If the children live with their mother in Florida and the father never established his paternity legally, a Georgia court would have no jurisdiction over the children. Their mother has sole legal custody. If the father wants to establish his "parental rights" he will need to establish his paternity where the children are domiciled. Once he has established that he is their father he can request joint custody or a visitation order and the mother can request a child support order if the children are to remain in her physical custody.If the parties want to make the change in custody by consent of the parties he should consult with an attorney to determine how that can be accomplished.If the children live with their mother in Florida and the father never established his paternity legally, a Georgia court would have no jurisdiction over the children.

If a parent gets imprisoned what are the steps to take to allow custody of their children to their family if father has sole custody and doesn't want the mother to have the children?

If you live in the US... Unless Mom's parental rights (different thing than custodial rights) have been terminated or she can be proven unfit, she's first in line for custody, so if she wants custody, she will get it (no matter what Dad wants)
