Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Remember, a child's mother can always be identified by medical records. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he can establish his paternity through a DNA test. A paternity test can be arranged through the court. Once paternity is established in court, the father can request visitations or custody through the court. If the mother retains physical custody she can request that the court issue a child support order. If the father gets physical custody he can request a child support order.

Can a child live with his father if the mother has parental responsibilty?

If a child's mother has sole custody then the courts have decided this and there is a reason for it. Generally, if the mother is a good mother (fit mother) then the children will be looked after by her with the father having partial custody to see his children. If the father is unfit, then the mother would have full custody. If you are the child asking the question and are upset because your mother has house rules and you don't always agree with them then this is not a good reason to want to live with your father. Your mother gives you these responsibilities so you will learn good characteristics that will make your life a whole lot simpler. You may not see that now, but will in the future. If this is the father asking the question and you have partial custody the courts have deemed it this way for a reason. If the mother is unfit and the father wants to take full custody then you should retain a lawyer asking for full custody.

Why does Oedipus refuse to go to Corinth in 'Oedipus Rex'?

That his presumed mother still lives and that he is prophesied to marry his mother is the reason why Oedipus refuses to go to Corinth in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Oedipus receives the horrifying prophecy that he will kill his father and marry his mother. He feels safe from the first part of the prediction since the death of his presumed father, Corinthian King Polybus, is from old age and illness during the time that Oedipus is King of Thebes. But he still does not want to return to his presumed hometown of Corinth, where his presumed mother, Corinthian Queen Merope, lives.


What does presumed father means?

A presumed father is a man who is recognized as the father of a child based on certain circumstances, such as being married to the child's mother at the time of birth or having acknowledged paternity through actions or legal agreements. This designation can carry legal responsibilities and rights regarding the child, even if biological paternity has not been established. In some cases, presumed father status can be contested or challenged through legal proceedings.


Why does Oedipus kill his father and marry his mother in 'Oedipus Rex'?

That he does not know that he is their son is the reason why Oedipus kills his father and marries his mother in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Oedipus hears the prophecy that he will kill his father and marry his mother. He is correct in thinking that he is royal born and bred. But he is wrong in thinking that he is the son of Corinthian monarchs Polybus and Merope. This mistaken self-identity causes him not to restrain himself when he kills someone other than his presumed father and marry an older woman other than his presumed mother.

If parents are together but not living together and mother is not working but has custody and father is who is more likely to obtain custody?

The courts always find for the mother unless there is strong evidence that she is unfit. The father will be required to make payments to her for the child and may have to make payments for her as well. The courts do this because they believe that a child is better off with a mother by default. Whether or not this is actually the case remains the subject of debate. The courts will also give the father visitation rights unless he is considered to be dangerous to the child or to the mother.


Can the mother move the child out of the country?
