Child custody decisions are based on the best interests of the children. A parent's drug use can be a concern for the court, but it will depend on the circumstances. If the children are well cared for and safe, the court may prioritize providing support and resources to address the drug use rather than immediately removing custody. It's important for the parents to seek help and address any substance abuse issues to ensure the well-being of the children.
In general, if both parents have legal custody rights, a parent typically needs the other parent's consent to leave the country with the children. If one parent leaves with the children without the other parent's consent, it could be considered parental abduction and legal action may be taken. It's important to consult with a family law attorney for specific advice based on the circumstances.
In most jurisdictions, children are typically around 12-14 years old before they are legally allowed to have a say in custody decisions such as choosing whether to go to the other parent's house or not. However, this can vary depending on the specific laws and regulations of the state or country where the custody agreement is taking place. It's advisable to consult with a family law attorney to understand the laws regarding children's input on custody decisions in a particular jurisdiction.
In Oklahoma, if a minor's custodial parent dies, the non-custodial parent can generally assume custody.

When a parent with custody goes to jail, child custody arrangements can vary depending on the situation.

The non-custodial parent can go to court and request custody of the children. A judge will decide which parent should be awarded custody of the children. The circumstances under which the children are currently living, combined with the reason(s) they are not living with you will be a big factor in whether or not you get to keep custody of the children.

Being married or unmarried is not much of a determining factor when it comes to custody nowadays. In order to have custody changed you would need to prove that either your household and parenting abilities are substantially better than the other parent, or that their situation is detrimental to the children.

If there was a previous court order giving the other parent custody, but the children are now living with the non-custodial parent, then yes. You should petition the court to change the custody order to reflect the new living arrangements.
