* It depends if you've made an effort to support your child. If you ran away from your responsibilities and didn't pay that child support then those are marks against you in the court system. If the mother refused to take any money or refused to see you the courts will take this into consideration. At the present time you have no custody at all, and unfortunately, you have no rights until this case comes before a court of law.
You have the visitation rights that were established in the divorce, and you have no custody rights.
Yes but he has to establish that he is the father so he has to get legal papers, birth certificate and do a DNA test. Without papers that you are the father you can't go to court and apply for visitation right and custody.
If the children are leaving the country, yes. See related question link.
When a parent does not have court ordered custody papers..any parent can have thr chilld...EX if the father takes him and doesn't want to return them well there is nothing you can do...if you call the police..they want a copy of the court ordered custody papers to remove the child from the non custodial parent....protect yourself get court ordered papers....my children were take by their father...i had no choice but to wait it out till he decided to return them...I did not have custody papers and nothing could be done since he was the father
it depends on your custody papers and what they say... if you have joint custody NO.... if you have residential custody maybe with court allowing it.... if you have sole custody then you would need to inform him but you could leave!!!
I would think that if the mother and father are not together and the mother is willing to give up custody of the child to the father than the father would have rights to the child. If the adoption papers haven't been canceled yet they will have to be signed when the baby is born saying that the mother and father give up parental rights to the child
I think you would need papers reflecting that you have custody or guardianship--or permission from the mother to see the records.
It depends on whether his court order gives him custody/visitation rights.
Go to the local courthouse within the jurisdiction of the child's residence and ask the court clerk if anything has been filed under the father's name or mother's name.
To established that you are the father or mother.
