If a parent tells a child that if they don't like their home then they can get out can the child ACTUALLY leave?

Legally, if the child is still a minor than no. If the child is underage and leaves the home the parent could be charged with abandonment. It is the parents reponsibility to look after the child until they reach adulthood. What the child wants does not really matter.


If you are not married to the father of your child but he wants the baby to have his name. Don't you lose some rights to that child?

Not at all. The child's last name does not grant more rights to one parent over the other with a different last name. It's just a name. The child doesn't even have to have either parent's last name.


What do you about support when you are the non-custodial parent and the custodial parent wants to hand over the child to you?

They can't simply "give the child to you." You need to return to the court and have the custody order modified so you'll have legal custody. It will go easier if the current custodial parent consents to the modification. At that time the current support order should be terminated and you can request child support if you wish.
