The courts may grant legal rights to a grandparent who has been caring for a grandchild for an extended period, especially if it can be demonstrated that such arrangements are in the child's best interest. Factors considered include the child's emotional needs, the stability of the grandparent's home, and the relationship between the grandparent and grandchild. However, the specific outcome can vary by jurisdiction and the individual circumstances of the case. Legal advice from a qualified attorney is recommended for navigating these rights.
Legal Custody is different than Parental rights. The courts decides child visitation, etc. and parents could pay child support to grandparent. It is all up to the courts..
Not without the courts involved.
All of them with parental consent. Without parental consent you need the courts consent or no marriage.
No. Below 18 you need parental and/or the courts consent.
In the US, the courts cannot choose to break the law, so if there's a law against it, then no, they can't.
Courts generally try to do what they think is best for the child in such cases, however, the son-in-law has parental rights, regardless of his Visa status. Unless he gives up his parental rights, or is found by a court to be an unfit parent, it is unlikely that a grandparent will be given custody of the child.
No you can not. With consent you can get married at 16 and 17 but under 16 it's only by a courts permission along with parental consent.
Depends on the state but you will need courts consent.
Depends on the laws where you live. Not without parental or courts consent though.
yes but it has to be approved in the courts
Rhode Island & Massachusetts allow marriage under 18 without parental consent, but it must be filed and approved through the courts. Georgia & Florida allow marriage without parental consent if the woman is pregnant, but it must be filed and approved through the courts and the pregnancy must be confirmed by a doctor. No other states allow marriage under the age of 18 without parental consent.
No. The courts must order this, even if the father consents.
