If a minor has an illegitimate child by an adult male and the girl wants to give it up for adoption but the father wants to take care of it by himself who makes the decision?

He can go to court and let the courts decide. You will also have your say in this matter. The courts may well decide that neither of you are able to look after the child and the child will become a Ward of the Court and put up for adoption. Marcy

When can you kick out your girlfriend?

By "kick out", I assume you mean "dump". Dumping someone is not a nice thing to do. How long have you guys been together? Why do you want to dump her? Is it over a small argument? If it is, then wait a while- maybe things will work out in the end. If you two can't even agree on a movie at the theater...something is wrong, and if that's the case then go ahead and do something about it.

Can someone convicted of aggravated battery to a child be allowed to have custody of a child?

Your question is complicated and really cannot be answered fully on an internet forum. The answer depends on prevailing law where you live, the circumstances of the case, how long ago it happened, the person's lifestyle since the incident, whether or not they have completed conditions of parole or probation and if not, whether either would present a hardship in providing for/caring for the child.

In some states, battery against a child would be an automatic revocation of parental rights, including custody. In other states, all circumstances are taken into consideration and a child may be given or returned to a parent with battery or even abuse convictions.

For more specific information, you need to contact an attorney specializing in family law in your state of residence.

Can Texas deny a marriage license if you owe back child support?

A child support statement is included on the Texas marriage license application and states, "I AM NOT PRESENTLY DELINQUENT IN THE PAYMENT OF COURT-ORDERED CHILD SUPPORT. TRUE FALSE." This has been the law in Texas since September 1995.

HOWEVER, it also makes sense that you should not remarry until you have your financial house in order. Marriages based on sound financial principles last longer. Also, you will be charged 6% interest on late payments.

Can a 17-year-old be emancipated and receive a lump sum of money for support from their parents?

If the minor resides in a state where emancipation is allowed, he or she may file a petition for emancipation rights, the judge will decide if emancipation should be granted. The major requirement for emancipation is that the minor be gainfully employed with enough income to provide for all their needs. Once a minor has been emancipated they are are financially responsible for their own welfare and their parents have no obligation to support them in any way. That means the parents would not be responsible for paying any of the minor child's bills regardless of what they might be. The minor will also be required to pay all legal costs and court fees that relate to the emancipation action, regardless of whether or not an emancipation decree is granted.
