There is no specific time limit for awarding custody. Although the court tries to be as expediant as possible for the benefit of all the concerned parties. The time frame depends on factors such as the willingness of the parents to compromise,other persons being allowed to testify on behalf of a parent, or persons with a legal right to submit evidence or objection to the custody petition, and so on.

Can a non custodial parent sign child up for activities ie Girl Scouts?
The non custodial parent can sign the child up for activities that are to be done during vistations as long as the custodial parent is okay with it. If the custodial parent objects it comes down to what type of legal custody arrangement is in place. If legal custody (decision making ability) is shared then each parent has the right to decide on activities for the child during their time. If you have joint legal custody and the girl scouts meetings will occur during a time that your child is normally with you, you can sign them up and take them. If the other parent has sole legal custody and objects to girl scouts for some reason you can't sign them up even if they meet during your visitation time.Most organizations are not picky about who signs the child up for an activity as long as the activity gets paid for and no one objects to the child participating.
Do you have to give up custody of your child if your child transfers school?
Well, this is actually a little complicated to answer since the question is a little to vague. So let me see if I can break this down: Let's talk about the long shot scenario: You are the custodial parent and you want your child to attend school in the same school district as the non-custodial parent; you are now going to have your child move in with the non-custodial parent so they can attend said school. So, the answer would be yes, you will have to give up primary custody of your child in order for them to live in the non-custodial parents home. This is what could happen: a. Adjust custody order to reflect joint custody; have visitation rights. Just understand that whoever has more "nights" with the child each year will be considered the custodial parent. As a non-custodial parent, you could be obligated to pay child support. b. Adjust custody order to reflect that non-custodial parent will have primary custody of your child. They will now be the custodial parent and you, as a non-custodial parent, may be obligated to provide child support. Easy scenario: You just want to move to a new school district, and as the custodial parent your child naturally moves with you. Then, no, you do not have to give up custody of your child. What you must do is provide the non-custodial parent with your change of address as well as a new home phone number if it changes.
