Yes! its actually fairly easy. Both parents sign a form, You sign the form, person getting custody signs form.
Boom. your out.
better be sure its what you want though! Cuz chances are you'll be stuck there till your 18.
If the parents are unmarried the father must establish his paternity legally. Once he has established his paternity he can petition for custody, visitation and a child support order can be established. Unless you can prove the mother is unfit to be a parent, it is really hard to take custody away from the mother in Kentucky. However, a father may be awarded joint custody or/and a visitation schedule. He should seek the help of an attorney who specializes in custody issues.
Yes
Without knowing the jurisdiction difficult to say. In general, you'd need to prove the mother is unfit to have custody. This is a hard thing to do. Joint custody is more likely.
In the US, no, you can't gain custody merely because you don't like your ex's new boyfriend/girlfriend. However if that boyfriend/girlfriend is unfit/ presents a danger to the child, that's a totally different situation.
He can still gain custody as the presumptive father.
If the baby's parents agree to it.Another View: To gain LEGAL custody: onlyif the grandparents petition the court for the childs custody and the court awards it to them.
Only if the court determines it would be in the best interests of the child to award such custody. The biological parents and/or an immediate relative of either would be considered before a person with no legal or biological ties to the child.
Only with a court order.
The mother already has sole custody. The father has not rights. see link
unless you are a blood relative of the child - your chances are very slim
Depends on circumstances. A single mother has a presumption of sole custody at the time of the birth of the child. Where married parents are separated, there is a presumption of joint physical custody whether or not support is ordered.
If he is legally emancipated, or both parents are deemed unfit, or if the grandparents gain legal custody, then yes.
Not enough unfortunately. Usually, if the child is removed from both parents' care before legal guardianship is established, the child is remanded to the custody of the state. At that point, it becomes more difficult (and expensive) for grandparents to gain custody. There are heartbreaking stories all over the place of grandparents trying in vain to get custody of their grandchildren.
In fact you can, if the sim you want to gain custody is related to the person who has lost the child they may gain custody of the child and will move in with them. I'm not sure if it automatic or if it is ocassional but you can definetly get custody.
Yes, if the parents do not "keep" their child with them that implies they leave the child with someone else. That someone else could petition the court for a legal guardianship and gain legal custody of the child. That would be in the best interest of the child and the person with whom the child lives should have legal custody.Yes, if the parents do not "keep" their child with them that implies they leave the child with someone else.

Yes, depending on how much time has passed and other factors. If the child has been abandoned the grandparents have a good chance of obtaining a permanent guardianship. They should consult with an attorney who specializes in custody issues.
