What else can I help you with?
In New Zealand can grandparents demand visitation or custody when there is no abuse or parental problems?
No. There are no such direct legal rights that benefit grandparents. The sole authority of a parent over their own child should always be paramount in the law. No other person can be allowed to break that right without just cause. Grandparents can report cases of abuse or neglect. They can attend the family group conference when allegations of abuse or neglect are being evaluated. They can petition for an order of guardianship if the case progresses to family court. They have no right to demand visitation rights or custody when there is no abuse or other problem present. See related link.
You are a mother who has full custody the paternal grandparents go for months at a time with no contact can they still get their rights?
If you reside in a state that recognizes grandparents rights, the grandparents are legally within their rights to petition the court for visits with the child, but even if those visits are ordered there will be a schedule set by the court that they will be required to follow. Grandparents visitation rights are much more limited than those of a parent, and your responsibility as a parent ends with making the child available for scheduled visits. If the grandparents miss visits or do not follow the requirements of the order with regards to when the child must be returned or the setting in which the visits take place you can petition the court to have the visitation suspended. If the grandparents don't bother to go to court, or you can show that visitation with them is detrimental to your child based on previous contact then you don't have to hand over your kid just because they ask or demand.
Can the mother of an unmarried pregnant 17 year old in Colorado demand paternity test on unborn child?
No. As the grandparent you have no rights to the child. But since she is not married to the father he will have to prove paternity with a DNA test if he wants parental rights such as custody, visitation and pay child support.
If your ex is dating an acholic can you get full custody?
If the ex is living in the household where the child would be visiting - then the other parent could ask for "supervised" visitation. The court could also demand that the alcoholic NOT be present in the home when the child is there. Whatever happens, the child obviously does not need to be around an alcoholic. While you may not be able to get full custody due to this fact, you do have some control over how and when the ex sees the child if the alcoholic is around.
Can the birth father be forced out then return for his child?
By "forced out" do you mean compelled to move or had rights stripped via a court order or the mother or her family's demand? If by court order, no. But if the mother or family is physically preventing visitation with the child, the non-custodial parent needs to go to court and file a custody petition outlining visitation rights and delineation of parenting time. The mother has the right to respond with any objections and/or modifications and ultimately, it will be left to the judge to outline rights regarding division of parenting time and visitation. Child support may also be mandated based on the same. Also, the non-custodial parent cannot just take the child unless they have rights to do so as outlined under a legal and binding custody/visitation order. If they have that and the other parent or legal guardian doesn't comply, they can be held in contempt of court and fined/jailed based on the same.
Do you have to pay child support to grandparents who are letting a child live with them to avoid punishment from the parents?
No. There is no guardianship and no court orders. The parents can however demand the child to come home at any time. Even with police help. He could be reported as a runaway and in that case it is illegal for the grandparents to help him.
Does a 16 yr old male in Maryland have the right to live with or visit dad parents to not live together and not legally married?
As long as you are a minor your parents decides this, more correctly your guardian and in this case that would be your mother that you live with (I assume). If your father have not been to court and got visitation or custody rights he can not demand to see you and you need your mothers permission to do so. Where you live is decided by your parents until you turn 18 or get emancipated.

If your sister died could you get custody of her 3 children if she is divorced from their father and he is unfit but your sister has remarried someone else and has a child with him?
It's likely, but I don't think that you could legally demand custody. You could work out some arrangements with the custodial step father and the biological father concerning visits and vacations, but you will still need a court order that gives you custody.
How much is a browning rifle patent pending worth?
The value of a Browning rifle with a "patent pending" designation can vary widely depending on several factors, including the specific model, its condition, historical significance, and current market demand. Generally, firearms with patent pending status may not have established value yet, as they are still in the process of obtaining patent protection. For an accurate appraisal, it's best to consult a firearms expert or appraiser familiar with collectible rifles.
Is it against the law to keep the non custodial parent away from the child because custodial parent wants more money and a new girlfriend?
It's illegal to go against the court order for custody or visitation so if that is what the parents is doing they can actually lose custody if not stopping. If they want more child support they have to petition the court and ask for a modification. It might work or might not. None of the parents can demand who the other one is seeing or not seeing or who they introduce the child to when she is with them unless that person is unfit to be around children.
