What rights does a father have if the mother gives permission for their child to live with dad?
It depends on several factors including whether the parents are married, divorced or unmarried and whether there are any outstanding court orders regarding custody and visitation. Some points to consider:
- If the parents are married both parents have equal parental rights.
- If the parents are unmarried and there are no court orders regarding paternity the father has no legal rights until he has established paternity through the court. He can then request custody or visitations. In this case the mother must consent to the father having legal physical custody which she can do without giving up her parental rights.
- If there are any existing custody and visitation orders those must be modified by the court in order for the father to have legal custody.
- The parties should seek the help of an attorney who specializes in custody issues who can review the situation and explain the options.

If you have custody awarded or appointed by the court, the father will have to go through the court to get custody. Usually, to reverse such an order, he would have to prove that being in your custody is detrimental to the children. There is shared custody. They have lived with the mother since the divorce four years ago. He has not paid any money for support. Mother has had children more than the 50% of time. Mothers attorney said that father has rights to custody since the mother works nights and they are with her new husband. Since he is blood father he can take custody of children! I find this hard to believe but have to face the fact that it maybe true. I find it a great disruption in their schedule and hard to see a judge changing it but could it happen?

Can Child protection agency help with custody if other parents has a unfit home?
In general, child protection does not get involved in custody in any way. If a child is removed from an unfit home the noncustodial parent can often have the child placed with them, but are considered a foster parent in the legal sense. There is a federal law that states that the offending parent has 15 out of the next 22 consecutive months to rehabilitate and get custody back of their child. If this does not happen then the state is obligated to file a termination of parental rights against that individual. If the parent completes rehabilitation then the child is returned to their custody and the parents must determine custody through a separate court action. The short answer is that child protection is generally required to attempt to reunify the child with the parent that they were removed from.
No. Support and visitation are separate issues.

When a child under the age of 18 is traveling outside the U.S. with only one parent or a third party there must be notarized written permission from the absent parent(s) or legal guardian. Without this authorization the parent/adult would not be allowed to legally take the child out of the U.S. If the joint custodial parent feels there is the possibility of the child being taken w/o their consent, they need to contact the authorities. The objecting parent must be able to show proof of their custody rights, preferably custody documents issued by the court.
The absent parent will be ordered to pay support, regardless of the nature of the absence.
AnswerDo not pay without a court order. If necessary, file a voluntary order. Note though, if there's any question about paternity, it needs to be clarified first as once you begin paying, you cannot stop later, regardless of paternity, in most states, and even if she remarries to the bio dad. There are clinic where you can take the child for testing, and the mother's permission is not required. There are also test kits you can buy, but they take longer to get results. It's better to learn now than later, plus is now or later you challenge for custody, she is allowed to use it against you to stop the challenge.see links below
