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. Having a spouse does not necessarily mean that you are better able to care for the children, especially if the other parent has had custody for a significant length of time without the children having any problems in a single parent household.

Non custidial parenting getting underage child a tattoo can she what rights does the custodial parent have?

It depends on what kind of custody arrangements you have. If you have joint legal custody, you both have to decide together what is best for the children. If you do not want the child to have a tattoo, the non-custodial parent should not allow the child to have it done and you can file contempt charges if they do.


Can the courts reverse decision of custody?

Custody decisions are never final because they must be governed by the best interests of the children and, as circumstances change, a judge may decide that a new custody order is needed. Changes in parents living circumstances, their health or mental health or new information about the children's circumstances or neesd I agree. The courts CAN do whatever they want. But a lot of it depends on whether you are the father or mother, and how much money you make. Remember, family courts are 100% about money, and NOTHING about the child. If you are the father, and mother has custody, it is unlikely they will ever give you custody, unless she kills the kid, but then it is too late. The main issues for custody decisions are 1) who is the mother and 2) who can pay more child support. If you are father, and you make more money, forget getting custody. The odds are 1/1000000, and it will only happen if the judge truly feels that by giving mother custody, the child will die, and then he will be blamed.


What is the law in Arkansas regarding unwed mothers getting sole custody?

What percent of women win child custody cases?

That's interpretive as there are four levels of custody. Sole Custody Joint Legal with Primary Residential Joint Physical Custody Bird Nest Custody Fathers with primary or sole custody runs 15%. Joint physical custody runs 25% Mother with primary or sole custody is 60% But, single mothers have sole custody by default in 100% of the cases until ruled on otherwise by the courts. Also, attorneys tell fathers not to try for custody as they don't win, and most attorneys that do try are not fully capable of representing fathers, so the mothers win. In the cases where fathers do challenge for custody, 60% of them will be accused of child sexual abuse as a tactic by the mother to prevent him getting it, but even when successful, they can still lose as 30% of them learn they are not the father of one or more of the children. If he does win custody, he can than be accused of domestic violence committed some time in the previous 12 months, as which point an injunction stops him from getting the child until he can prove himself innocent. If he does prove himself innocent, or it was found that he defended himself when she attacked him, then he cannot have custody because that's still considered domestic violence against the mother.

I was given custody of 2 children (from the state of Louisiana) by both parents. I have had these children for 3 months and last week the State of Louisiana decided to make them wards of the state of Louisiana. What can I do to keep these children.?

This question is difficult to answer without having other details related to the situation. If there was a legal loop hole in how you originally obtained custody, or if children there was just cause for the state to take the children away from you such as neglect or abuse you may have a hard time getting custody back. However, if you were a loving and responsible parent and can prove so, you should start by getting an attorney who can help you demonstrate that you were given custody in a legal fashion and then the lawyer can help you build a case for why you are a suitable guardian for these children. Find an attorney who specializes in child custody and, if possible, one who has previous experience working with the state so they are familiar with situations such as the one you are currently in.
