Foster children can be placed in the custody of a Service Member either through a placement agency or by court order. In cases involving placement agencies, the process is typically more flexible and may prioritize the needs of the child and the fostering family. Conversely, court-ordered placements often involve legal proceedings that establish the necessity of the child’s placement in the Service Member's care. Both types aim to provide a stable and supportive environment for the child, though their processes and legal frameworks differ.
not without the permission of the court or the other parent. check link on what to offer.
To answer this question three assumptions had to be made. (1) The questioner is the ciivilian spouse of a service member - (2) the civilian spouse is involved in a custody battle with THEIR former spouse (also a civilian) over their joint children - (3) the children involved are not the offspring of the service member and their civilian spouse. Offhand I am of the opinion that if the service member is not DIRECTLY involved as a party to this legal action, the Air Force lawyers will probably not be able to assist you. HOWEVER - this does not stop you from approaching the base legal officer's office and asking what help, if any, might be available. At the very least, perhaps they can refer you to a civilian attorney who can assist you.
You should have fought for sole custody of your children from the beginning. If the mother of the children has had visitation rights and is a fit mother, yes, she can fight you for the rights of partial custody. If she has never taken an interest in the children and never paid a cent towards the upbringing of these children and is an unfit mother then I suggest you seek legal counsel and get sole custody of your children. By doing this you can leave your children with your mother and continue on with the military with peace of mind. I do believe you have legal counsel in the military service too, so why not give it a shot! Not necessarily. The main objective of the court is what is in the best interest of the child/children. The judge will look at the overall situation, where the child now resides, if it is a stable and nuturing environment, is the child enrolled in school, are there other family members close by, and so on. No judge will remove a child from a caring, secure environment simply because the noncustodial parent wishes it to happen.
yea
For them to adopt your children, you signed away your parental rights, or, because of your behavior, they were free to be adopted. Your best hope is to be on good enough terms to visit periodically.
The court will decide that. If no family member is available or suitable they will go to fostercare. A will is more like a wish, it can't decide 100% of where the kids is gonna go.
No they cannot unless they have a court order that says they have temporary custody.
Yes. I am a family member that has full legal custody of a my grandychildren because both parents were found unfit by a Juvenile Court and Children Services agreed because of "best interest of the child" The parents were given 22 month to work a court order caseplan, but failed to comply so I was given custody of the children. The parents have visits on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of the month and no overnights. The parents were also ordered to pay monthly child support.
If the service member is the parent of the child, they can be claimed as a dependent. Marital status does not matter.
Often, a family member assumes custody of the child, either on their own (in which case they need to get legal custody ASAP) or through the State's child protection/child welfare agency.
