It's your parents or a judge who decide who you will stay with when you are a minor. Usually one parent have the bigger part of the custody.
Technically in cases where there is no order of custody possesion is 9/10ths of the law IF both parents are legally recognized to be parents (i.e. have signed the birth certificate). However if one parent has had primary physical custody of the child following a separation and has been responsible for the majority of the care for the child the court may not look kindly on the other parent hijacking custody. The best thing to do is file for temporary custody before actually keeping the child.
No, legally a minor has no choice in the matter.
No, there is still a parent left with custody. And custody can never be willed. That is for the court to decide. The ones in the will can ask for custody but it is up to the court.
As long as you are a minor you can not decide legally where to live.
only if parents are married see links below
Yes, your parent can decide who you visit or see especially if you are still a minor. Concerned parents do not want you to hang around with the wrong kind of people. That's why most parents suggest to meet the person that your visiting or seeing.
Neither parent should keep a child away from the other parent if there is no good reason. A good reason would be abuse, neglect, drug abuse, etc... If there are problems with custody and there are not court custody papers, there needs to be. Go to the court house and have the process started. Without these papers, either parent could keep the child (as long as the father is proven to be the father or his name is on the birth certificate) and it is not kidnapping. There is not court order preventing it. Also remember that the mother does not always automatically get full physical custody. The court looks at what is best for the child, not the parents.
No, a parent cannot legally kidnap their own child in the USA. Kidnapping is a criminal offense, and taking a child without permission or in violation of a custody agreement is considered abduction. Parents must follow legal procedures and court orders regarding custody and visitation rights.
Not if the other parent has joint custody and/or visitation rights.
