In most cases the father can get custody of the child if the mother is unfit. The courts want the child to be in the custody of the parent who can provide a safe and nurturing life for the child. It is best to seek the legal assistance of a lawyer for custody issues.

You haven't provided any details about marital status and existing parental rights.If he doesn't presently have parental rights and custody- the answer is no. If the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody until the father has established his paternity legally and petitioned the court for custody and won. The school should not allow the father to take the child. The principal should call the mother to notify her of the situation. The state where the child lives has jurisdiction over that child.If the father had no parental rights the mother should contact the police immediately.You haven't provided any details about marital status and existing parental rights.If he doesn't presently have parental rights and custody- the answer is no.

When a mother dies and the biological father is unknown does the stepfather get custody over the child's sister?

Without a Will, he has no clearly defined custodial rights to a stepchild, but unless addressed in a custody decree, neither does the father. Guardianship reverts to the maternal grandparents.

You need the father's consent. If he does not consent then you will have to petition the court and there will be a hearing at which the father can explain his objections and also request primary custody. You should consult with an attorney who specializes in guardianships and custody issues.


Father and mother never married children born in Florida father now lives in Georgia does he have to legitimize them in Georgia to have them come live with him?

If the children live with their mother in Florida and the father never established his paternity legally, a Georgia court would have no jurisdiction over the children. Their mother has sole legal custody. If the father wants to establish his "parental rights" he will need to establish his paternity where the children are domiciled. Once he has established that he is their father he can request joint custody or a visitation order and the mother can request a child support order if the children are to remain in her physical custody.If the parties want to make the change in custody by consent of the parties he should consult with an attorney to determine how that can be accomplished.If the children live with their mother in Florida and the father never established his paternity legally, a Georgia court would have no jurisdiction over the children.
