It really depends who gets full custody. Sometimes if a child is being abused by one of their parents they will move in with either the opposite parent or go with a foster family but sometimes it is your choice. Legally you can go to court and try to fight for who you live with but lets say if you live with your dad and he does something illegal sometimes you have to go with your mom. And i don't know why but most people i know who's parents have been divorced stay with their mom.... Like me :(
Depends on the parents and what the court find is best for the child. Most courts likes to see shared custody so the child has access to both parents. The gender of the child is irrelevant when choosing a parent.
The court will base the decision using the best interest of the children as the determining factor. The court will consider such factors as:
Custody will be decided as a part of the divorce process. The court prefers that the parents agree on a parenting plan of custody and if it is fair then the court will approve it and it will become a court order. Otherwise there will be a trial and the court will decide based on the best interests of the child. There are various types of custody arrangements and the case law does vary some from state to state.
Up to and through the early twentieth century fathers were typically favored for child custody if the marriage ended. That custom gradually changed since the courts had to acknowledge that the mother was the primary care giver and she should keep raising the children in their tender years. That presumption gave way to the best interest of the child doctrine in the 1970s. It is a fact of family life that mothers usually provide the day to day, primary care of their children even if they work outside the home. It should be remembered that shared parenting is the best possible solution to a divorce. Fighting over custody often has other motivations at its root such as wanting to hurt the other parent, wanting to maintain control and wanting to avoid paying child support. The mother is often the target in custody battles and they set the stage for years of legal wrangling.
Courts know that generally speaking, mothers are the ones who provide the day to day care for their children, even if they also work outside the home. It is also true that many fathers take an active role in raising their children. If the father was the primary caregiver then he should be considered primary custody since caregiving should be the main qualification for awarding physical custody along with a healthy environment, stability and safety.
You need to be able to show that you were the one who provided day to day care for your child including such tasks as the following:
The court will base the decision using the best interest of the children as the determining factor. The court will consider such factors as:
A relative. Someone like an aunt, uncle, or grandparent.
In most circumstances the mother gets primary custody.
If the parents cannot reach a voluntary agreement, the court decides which parent should have primary custodial rights depending upon the best interest of the child.
Yes, this could happen.
As long as the Intended parents have a legal contract with the surrogate that states that they will assume full custody, the surrogate has NO rights to the child and no chance of gaining custody.
An unmarried mother has full custody of her child unlessthe father has established his paternity through the court. He can then request custody and visitation rights. A divorced mother must review her divorce decree and all related court orders if she is unsure about the status of the custody of her child.
No, I don't believe they can. It depends on the agreements of the split custody; if there is split custody. Technically, the law only forbids a parent moving out of state with the child if there is split custody, but if there is full custody, I do believe that its allowed. In any case if you're only visiting, Theres nothing in the law that prohibits you. I grew up with divorced parents, although there were no custody agreements.
No. A child is entitled to be supported by both parents.
YES! not all mothers should be granted full custody of their children!
15% to
If you mother has full custody, then yes. If both parents have custody, then no. If you are not emancipated, you cannot own property.
It regards the issue of getting an emergency custody order for a child in need of care.
No.
the judge might sighn for another date or give full custody to the parent that showed up it happened to my mom before when she didnt show up and my dad got full custody of me
Both full custody parents/guardians have say over the child. However, just because you are someones guardian does not mean that you have full custody of that child all of the time. It simply means you have say so in the childs life. This is how it was when my grandmother had full custody of me, however, my uncles were my guardians. I do not belive this particular law varies from place to place.
