It does not sound like you know what being emancipated means. Being emancipated is where a minor under the age of 18 no longer wants their parents to be responsible for them and wants to be considered an adult by the state. This would mean that you would have all the rights of an 18 year old at the age of 16. If your mother has custody of you and you have no problem with her then i would see no reason to try to get emancipated.
No, 3 months is not long enough for them to remove parental rights.
It's better to have Bird Nest Custody. see link
the father should file for custody
You can try taking him to court. This does not mean that you will get full custody.
Only if the mother can prove repeatedly that the father is not responsible.Our custody case is in FL and our lawyer told us that when my husband deploys with the military that his children can remain in our home and do not have to relocate to the mother's home for the 6 months he will not be there.
Your father has "put his hands on you"? Do you mean, molested you? If so, call 911 right now and get help.
If he is legally the father he has a chance, of course. It's up to the judge. He has to petition the court for custody.
Even if no custody and access orders are in place, the father has up to six months to file an injunction ordering the return of the child to the jurisdiction of the court.
Six months, but the father can file in NH first.
the prisoner was remanded in custody for a further 2 months
No enlisting in the military at 17 does not make emancipated.
First, there is a time limit for filing an appeal, and you need to take the time to properly prepare evidence for the argument. The late James Cook, the father of joint custody was a friend, and he recommended preparing at least three months of evidence. Have you also considered Bird Nest Custody? see links below
