It Depends on why the divorce happened.
Only if approved by the judge.
If the mother has sole custody of the child, then yes -- the father doesn't need notification. With joint custody, the answer may vary, but in most cases the father must be at least notified. The permission would be from a judge, not the father.
I'm in KCMO. A judge has to approve it and the mother cannot be on welfare now or in the future.

A mother can lose custody by being deemed an unfit parent by the court. The factors used to determine that a parent is unfit are generally governed by state laws with child endangerment being the determining factor. These are some reasons a mother may be deemed unfit:Abusing the child, but beating themLeaving the child alone while she goes outLeaving the child with someone unfitThe mother does drugsThe mother is an alcoholicNot feeding the child properlyNot addressing health issues with a doctor, clinic or hospitalAllowing the child to be outside for hours at a time alone and not cared forThe mother brings too many different men around and neighbors complainThe mother is always tossing the child from one relative to the other so she can go out and have fun.Not providing a good or safe environment for their childIf the child is old enough to go to school, not giving them the opportunity for a decent education. (the father should give child support for this.)These are reasons you can't be called an unfit mother:Getting a better education and leaving your child for those hours with a grandparent or responsible friend (this includes working)Not having enough money to live in the best of neighborhoods, but your home is clean, tidy and you do the best you canCooperating with the child's father regarding visitation rightsMaking sure your child receives decent medical careGiving all the love and support you can to your child and you don't have to be wealthy to do this.There are other ways a mother can lose custody to the father which have nothing to do with her being a 'bad' mother. For example: if the child is old enough and expresses a desire to live with his or her father, the judge will often take the child's wishes into consideration when making his or her determination. If the parents live in different towns, the judge may also take into consideration which parent has more family living near by, which can provide stronger family support. Also, if the father lives in an area which can provide better schooling, the judge may take that into consideration, as well.None of these guarantee that a parent will win custody, it largely depends on the judge, and all of the circumstances.
Well the mother has to allow the father to see the child a little bit and the judge will decide how though!
No. The mother cannot overrule a judge.
A child does not need to be abandoned by their mother for a father to be awarded full custody. If the father can demonstrate before a judge that the mother is unfit to parent, the judge can award him full custody of the child.
Only if approved by the judge.
certainly
That's up to the interpretation of the judge. see link
Each situation is different and there is no set answer. The judge will decide. If the biological father is a fit parent then he will most likely be awarded custody. The grandmother would most likely have visitation rights. The judge will look at the situation and decide what is best for the welfare of the child.
First, without a court order, the mother cannot prohibit the father from seeing the child. If he has not voluntarily given up his rights to the child, and a judge has not created a custody schedule, the father has as much right to see the child as the mother.Second, if the father does voluntarily give up his parenting rights, or a judge does involuntarily remove his parenting rights (or awards full custody to the mother), the father would still owe child support until his child reaches the age of majority and has graduated high school.
The judge is the mother of the accused
The order goes to child support enforcement to persecute.
If the mother has sole custody of the child, then yes -- the father doesn't need notification. With joint custody, the answer may vary, but in most cases the father must be at least notified. The permission would be from a judge, not the father.
Yes, he can. If the father was the sole supporter of the child(ren) for 4 years without any contribution from the mother, the mother is responsible for her share of this time. Furthermore, any agreement and, in most states needs to be approved by a judge. In some cases the judge may decide that the amount of the agreement may not be enough to support the child(ren) solely based on the father's income.
