That does not mean you have full custody. Even though the father is not around you should still go for full custody. Theres always that chance the father could back around and that child is not with you he has just as much right to that child as you do.

yes he does but it all comes down to the situation of the parents and the children. if courts see that the mother isn't fit to be a good parent, they give the father full custody!!

The answer depends on the details which haven't been included here.This is a complicated situation and you haven't explained whether the mother is incarcerated. If so the father may have to provide a safe temporary home for the child while he files a petition for an emergency temporary custody order until the full hearing can be scheduled. If the father is available, in the child's life and has not been deemed an unfit parent then he can petition for a modification of the custody order and request permanent custody.If anyone wants to object they can express their objections to the court and file their own petition for guardianship. The court will hear testimony and review evidence and render a decision. If no one comes forward the child will likely be placed in foster care.
Can a father retain custody with meth charges pending?
That depends on prevailing law in the state where he lives, but generally, charges are not a conviction and will have no bearing on custody, unless of course, the child was found to be living in a meth house or there are other emergency reasons why a child may be reassigned on a temporary basis. Otherwise, charges are not convictions and may have no bearing up and until that time a conviction comes down. Then custody may be modified based on the same.

Which states do not automatically give sole custody to mothers?
All of them particularly if the father has signed the birth certificate or has otherwise been legally deemed as the father. ' The law has become gender-neutral in areas of child custody and the father has as many rights as the mother when it comes to custody. Ultimately, it comes down to the decision of the judge who would be better suited to act in the best interests of the child and custody is awarded based on the same. The mother has presumptive initial custody in some states, particularly if the father's name is not on the birth certificate or paternity is otherwise legitimized/established until custody is mandated by the courts.

Can a girl keep a child away from the father?
You didn't say if the girl was the mother. Here are some factors: * If the girl is the mother and there is a good reason (drugs, criminal record, abuse, lack of support payments or, the father of the child refuses to see the child) making the father unfit, then yes, she can go to Children's Aid or a lawyer and gain sole custody of the child. Generally the mother will win in this case because the safety of the child always comes first. * If a girl is living with a boyfriend and they have a child together and he is an unfit father as stated above then she can seek the help of a lawyer or Child's Aid and get sole custody of the child. * The girl cannot keep the child away from the father if he is a decent father and she simply decides she wants nothing more to do with him or, she has another boyfriend or even a husband. The father in this case would have every right to have partial custody of that child if he so chooses. * If the girl (mother) of the child is unfit herself then the boyfriend/husband can also seek sole custody of the child should he think the environment the child is raised in is unfit. This of course would be a decision of Child Aid and it could go to court.

You don't say which of the parents that are incarcerated but their rights to the child comes first.

If the father is not in the birth certificate but he has established paternity to the court so he can petition for visitation or custody and also pay child support, the chance should be equal.

Do fathers have rights when it comes to their child in the state of Florida if they are not married to the mother of their child?
The mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Remember, a child's mother can always be identified by medical records. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he must seek other means of establishing his paternity and that is done through a paternity test. A paternity test can be arranged through the court and once established the father can request visitations, custody and set up child support for the child.

Can parents be granted on order through the courts to keep their child in their custody until the child turns 18?
No. As parents you already have custody but a judge can not give you a guarantee that no matter what will you keep that. The best of the child comes first and if you for some reason is found unfit down the road the child would need a new guardian. If you are divorced and granted custody that court order is valid unless the other parent (or the state) get custody for whatever reason (if both parents become unfit etc). And custody lasts until the child is 18. You can not get a guarantee from the judge that you as a parent will have custody until the child is 18. There are 2 parents and according to the law both are allowed to seek custody of their child.
