How does a father obtain joint custody of his child?

To obtain joint custody of his child, a father typically needs to file a petition with the family court. The court will consider factors such as the child's best interests, the father's relationship with the child, and the ability of both parents to co-parent effectively. It is important for the father to present a strong case and demonstrate his commitment to being involved in the child's life. Legal representation may be helpful in navigating the court process.

It is recommended to seek legal advice to ensure the process is done correctly.


Can a mother take a child across state lines without father's permission in the State of Florida and the father is no where to be found?

If the mother has sole custody of the child, then yes -- the father doesn't need notification. With joint custody, the answer may vary, but in most cases the father must be at least notified. The permission would be from a judge, not the father.


If the father has had joint custody of a 4 year old and was the primary parent and the mother wants primary custody can she do it?

Yes if she could prove that the child is better off in her primary care. If the child is thriving and safe with you, it would be hard for her to prove. But custody can change at anytime so she has the right to file.


Can a Father get joint legal and physical custody of a newborn in GA?

Yes, but there are steps you must take to get to that point. First, you will need to file a petition to legitimate child and modification of child custody (unless you are legally married to the mother). Normally, in most Georgia cases, you will automatically be granted joint legal custody, but not necessarily joint physical. Determination of physical custody will depend on MANY different factors. You may have to prove the mother unfit... more than that, you will have to show that the 'change in custody' will be in the best interest of the minor child... not the parties.
