Could a father get custody of his son?

Answer 1

In cases where the biological parents are not married the law presumes that the mother has sole custody rights. The father would have to establish paternity to the satisfaction of the court before custody, visitation or child support issues could be addressed. In cases that pertain to a child born in a marriage both parents are assumed to have equal rights until the court rules otherwise. If one parent filed for sole custody the other would be notified and would have the legal right to contest the action.

Answer 2

No. Biological parents must be notified when the issue concerns minor children of which they share custodial rights. If the couple are not married the law presumes that the mother has sole custodial rights to the minor child/children until legal procedures are followed that might allow the biological father custodial and/or visitation rights.

Answer 3

In the US, no. Only a court can grant legal guardianship. If your child's father filed a petition to transfer legal guardianship to his parents you should be notified as the child's parent as long as your address is known to the father. You would have an opportunity to appear at the hearing and file an objection.

Answer 4

No. Not unless the father's parental rights have been legally terminated. The grandmother's guardianship would need to be approved by the court and the father would be given notice. He would have the opportunity to object. If he did file an objection the court would arrange to investigate the situation and then render a decision based on its findings.
