Yes, a parent receiving disability SSI can seek custody of their children. The court will consider the best interests of the child when making custody decisions, and the disability status of a parent alone does not prevent them from obtaining custody. The court will evaluate factors such as the parent's ability to care for the child and provide a stable environment.
The non-custodial parent can file for custody.
Yes, but the other parent can challenge it.
This seems extremely unlikely.
Social security disability or a different type of disability insurance? For SSDI, children of divorced parents are still eligible for benefits regardless of whether the child lives with the parent receiving Social Security benefits or the parents remarry.
You file a motion in the appropriate venue. FYI, the law generally awards custody to the parent(s) or, failing that, grandparent(s) or other suitable member of the extended family.
A paternal grandmother with permanent custody of her grandchild is considered a family member rather than a parent. While she may have assumed the role of a parent by providing care and custody, her legal status is that of a grandparent.
Minor's are not allowed to choose with whom they wish to live, although the judge may speak with the child and take his or her opinions into consideration when making custodial decisions. Likewise, the grandparent who has temporary custody cannot release the minor into the custody of any other person including a parent without first obtaining permission from the court.
Kidnapping charges can be brought against anyone who does not have legal or physical custody of that person. Grandparent, parent, second cousin twice-removed, does not matter.
yes
In Texas, if a child is 14 or older, he/she can choose to live with a grandparent as long as permission is given by the custodial parent.
Depends on the disability and your ability to care for the child.
