Child Custody- Can Fathers Win
No, as he has no legal rights to the child even if he sign the certificate himself. You will need to file for custody. see links below.
In general, child protection does not get involved in custody in any way. If a child is removed from an unfit home the noncustodial parent can often have the child placed with them, but are considered a foster parent in the legal sense. There is a federal law that states that the offending parent has 15 out of the next 22 consecutive months to rehabilitate and get custody back of their child. If this does not happen then the state is obligated to file a termination of parental rights against that individual. If the parent completes rehabilitation then the child is returned to their custody and the parents must determine custody through a separate court action. The short answer is that child protection is generally required to attempt to reunify the child with the parent that they were removed from.
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.
Yes, unless you can show that doing so would be dangerous for you and/or the child.
At the courthouse in the state & county where the child resides.
No, but he should file a challenge. see links
You have the right to file for a change of custody with the court. You will have to present convincing evidence that the child's mother is unfit to retain custody of the child. Frankly: It is a stiff burden of proof to overcome to convince the court to remove a child from its mother's custody.
Of course, as long as the father has not been deemed unfit by the court. The process should already be underway if the baby has been abused by the mother. The father should already be in contact with Child Protective Services in order to protect his child and document the abuse. He needs to file a petition for full custody.Of course, as long as the father has not been deemed unfit by the court. The process should already be underway if the baby has been abused by the mother.

You must file for legal custody of the child. If the judge sees the mother unfit then custody battle will most likely be won.
I would think that you would have to file a petition in the Family Court of the area that the child lives in, and then you would have to prove her to be an "unfit" parent.
No, you can not file for abandonment charges. You can however, refuse the child support and take the parent to court. If they refuse to attend the court date and/or don't push for rights and you believe they are an unfit parent, then they may loose their rights. This will be a long process, but if a child is involved and are believed to be abused or neglected then it is well worth it. Before beginning a long process like this, make sure that you really believe that the parent is unfit. Once the process is started there is no going back!

When your exwife filed for bankruptcy she was only able to do so when it came to her personal debts so your credit should not be affected and nor should your status with the house. Of course she should have told you but technically speaking your should not be affected by her filing.
didnt work but have a child can you file
In general, parental rights are terminated either preparatory to an adoption, or after a trial in which it is determined that the parent is unfit. In any case, termination of parental rights does not, in itself, terminate child support.
If the children are in mortal danger, contact the local child protection services in your area. They will remove them from the home and place them in foster care. If you are a relative, you can contact the protection service and they may recommend they be placed with you during an upcoming court hearing. If they are not in danger, then you will have a hard time proving that the mother is unfit. You can file a custody claim in family court.
If the parents are unfit or agree to you having them and the judge agrees to it. Grandparents have no automatic right to the grandchildren. If the parents are unfit and another relative also seeks custody they may have the same chance to get them. The judge would look at what would be most suitable for the child.
