No, minors cannot initiate litigation of any type unless a judge decides it is warranted, in which case the judge will appoint a guardian ad litem to oversee the minor's interests. That aside, minors are not allowed to make the decision as to which parent they wish to reside with. However, the non-custodial parent may file a petition for change of custodial rights in the appropriate state court. The primary custodial parent also has the legal right to contest the action.

Can a mother and her boyfriend or husband file for full custody of the mothers children together that you share joint custody with your exhusband who is the childrens father?
Boyfriend or husband (unless he is the biological father) has no legal right to the child at all. The mother can try to go for full custody though.
If you are the custodial parent but work at night does the biological father have the right to take custody of the children?
If you have custody awarded or appointed by the court, the father will have to go through the court to get custody. Usually, to reverse such an order, he would have to prove that being in your custody is detrimental to the children. There is shared custody. They have lived with the mother since the divorce four years ago. He has not paid any money for support. Mother has had children more than the 50% of time. Mothers attorney said that father has rights to custody since the mother works nights and they are with her new husband. Since he is blood father he can take custody of children! I find this hard to believe but have to face the fact that it maybe true. I find it a great disruption in their schedule and hard to see a judge changing it but could it happen?
