As regards establishing your financial responsibility, you would file in your state. Filing in the other state would grant them jurisdiction over child support, though you might wish to evaluate the difference in state laws. If you live in Washington, you are obligated to pay for a college education. When child support stops varies from state to state. see links for help

∙ 9y agoYou need to petition for visitations in the family court where the child resides. The best way to go forward would be to contact an attorney in that jurisdiction who specializes in custody issues who could review your situation and explain your rights and options. You may be able to consult by phone or by email and you should be able to get an idea of the costs involved. You may need to establish paternity if you were not married to the child's mother. The issues of child support and legal custody may also be involved. You need expert advice.

What is customary visitation when the child lives with the mother 3000 miles away?
It depends on the reasons for moving and the age of the child. How has custody of the child.
If you have joint custody can your teenager live with either parent?
The guidelines are basically the same in every state but obviously there are a few minor differences. Joint custody consists of Primary Custody & Secondary Custody. The parent with primary custody is who the child lives with & the other parent has secondary custody. Depending on the age of the child & the state in which they reside, the court may let them determine where they choose to live. Or if both parents agree on the child's decision then the child can live with either parent.

Does the father have custody of he child even though the child lives with him but both the parents were never married. Can the father come after the mother for full custody.?
With no courts orders in place, the father has no legal right to have the child living with him. The mother has sole custody and control in all states, and he can still be obligated to pay support for this time period. He needs to immediately file a motion with the court to establish his rights and for at least temporary custody, pending a full hearing, before she gets wind of the fact that she can take the child away from him at any time. see links below.
