It really depends on the individual situation and the law where the family resides. Generally, the children would go with their mother, unless the mother is deemed unfit or is also convicted of a crime.
It would be highly unusual for a judge to grant sole custody in such a situation. She would have to be deemed an unfit parent by the court or consent to the custody arrangement.
No judge in their right mind would grant it.
The judge can grant split custody of both parents live in the same school district as the child. However, the judge will take many things into consideration before he rules. An attorney can answer any questions you have about custody issues.
It is difficult to get out of DSS custody until you are over age eighteen. It is possible sometimes to have a judge grant a minor emancipation.
np ****** No judge in the US is going to grant legal custody of a minor to their boyfriend/girlfriend.
YES, IF YOU ARE GOING THROUGH A DIVORCE, YOU NEED TO ASK FOR CUSTODY AS PART OF THE DIVORCE SETTLEMENT. THIS WOULD BE THE BEST TIME TO DO IT BECAUSE IF SOCIAL SERVICES ALREADY TOOK THE CHILDREN FROM THE MOTHER , THE JUDGE WOULD EASILY GRANT YOU CUSTODY THE CHILDREN.
It is possible, but she would have to petition the court with jurisdiction for custody modification. Then she and her cousin would have to appear before the judge in a court hearing, explaining why the mother wishes to do this, whether or not there are any objections to the action from the father or any other individual with guardianship rights and then the judge would decide if it would be in the child's best interests to grant such an arrangement.
Yes of course. Unless the custodial parent is unfit the judge would not just change it though but there is also shared custody. It's up to the court to decide.
Yes, a judge can grant full custody to someone without a DNA test. Custody decisions are primarily based on the best interests of the child, which can include factors such as the child's emotional and physical needs, the relationship between the child and the caregiver, and the stability of the home environment. If the judge finds sufficient evidence or circumstances that support awarding custody to a non-biological parent, a DNA test may not be necessary. However, the specifics can vary by jurisdiction and individual case circumstances.
Whether a restraining order is granted is based on the merits of the complaint, not who filed it. If the judge sees reason to grant the order it will be.
yes, see links below
The judge may grant custody to any individual or agency whom he/she feels in his/her objective opinion would act in the best interests of the child. Sometimes this is the mother, sometimes this is the father and sometimes this is the state. This is exclusively a matter of state law. It has nothing to do with anyone's immigration status.
