My dear, there is nothing that says you would be lesser of a mom just because you are a single mom. Those mothers often get closer to their child which benefits when the child reach their teens. Just don't make the mistake of being a pal instead of a parent. She will have friends but only one mom.
yep, if your wife and chilren leave the state i am pretty sure you can be still married because when you get married you usually have to sign a form that says i am legally married no matter what
Spouse? Don't you mean your ex?
She can not deny visitation unless the child would be in danger of some kind. If the visitation order needs to be changed it can only be done in court and she would have to have good reasons why she denied it. Not liking the ex's new girlfrind is not a reason to deny visitation. This will happen to her too and it's called moving on with life.
Ex:) If the dad has visitation rights and a new girlfriend and the custodial parent, the mother, does not approve of the child meeting the new girlfriend, she has no right to dictate to the father who the child sees during visitation. That is entirely up to the father. Unless the girlfriend is unfit to be around the child. That is something the mother would have to prove in court if she wants to prevent them from meeting.
This of course also works the other way. The non-custodial parent can not dictate to the custodial parent who the child meets when with her.
about 30 percent because mothers are seen to take more care of there children so they are most likely to win in court especially if the child is under the age of 8
You can do it in most states when you are 11. It DOES require going to court and talking to a judge and explaining why this is necessary. It also costs money to hire an attorney to represent you before the court. If you move without the court's approval, the custodial parent can have the police bring you back, because you would be a minor, and they are LEGALLY responsible for you until age 18. Hope it helps. Peace.
if they both feel comfortable with it then yes. after all they are related.
Added: You would do well to check with your states's Dept of Child and Family Services, I believe that many (all?) states require separate bedrooms for siblings after they reach a certain age.
With those words you just asked. Say that.
"Dad, I don't really like you and I'd rather not see you again. I think I'll stop visiting now. Sorry pops. Guess you'll die alone."
I paraphrased, but I believe you said something along those lines.
A divorce decree does not supersede any contract. Even if the decree states that the husband is responsible for the repayment of creditors, if he doesn't pay, the creditors will call the wife and her credit report will also suffer the consequences of late or non payment. Separate all joint accounts before filing [for divorce] to make sure you don't get stuck with all/any debt.
Children are more challenge by divorce parent can take it but children cant some times
It really depends on you.
1-3 yrs. in a relationship = 2 months
4-7 yrs. in a relationship = 4 months
and if a few days =2 days or if you really love the person you are dating then a week
This has worked for me in the past, gave me time to morn the lose of my relationship, think about what I needed and/or wanted in another. No matter what people tell you, you can't get over something old by getting under something new unless you're shallow and without emotion
In the USA more or less 30% of parents are single parents.
If, you are a single parent and need help. I recommend you to read

if your husband left you with 2 small children trust me your better of without him. Im pregnant and my boyfriend left me but its turned out for the best. All you can do is try to get your mind off it and concentrate on your kids, their the ones whom will be most affected by this.
To file a complaint against an attorney, you would file it with the State Bar Association of the state in which you live. See related link below for more information for the State Bar Association in your state.
First of all you need to talk to your mother.
Explain that you would like to move back in to live with her, and explain why.
Then you need to listen to your mother, she may agree or not.
All depends on the circumstances, usually a mother would want to protect her children, so try to resolve any issues and good luck.
Ask yourself what gives you the right to have custody of the children? The best answer for ALL concerned is to talk it over with your husband and come to an agreement. With this you can then get the agreement written up by lawyers. If you do not feel comfortable talking to your husband about this by yourself I suggest you both meet with a third party - say your lawyer. I suggest you get to a court ASAP and file a custody order, before he does. The first one who files normally has a better shot at winning. And if you can prove abuse, file that also. This is a hard question to answer so you need to act fast.
You could lose your child, if you have joint custody. He can state that you kidnapped the child. I would suggest going to get custody or at least get in contact with a lawyer and see what they say. If there was abuse, usually the justice system won't get involved until someone actually gets hurt. As sorry as that is.
You need to seek legal counsel ASAP, as the laws differ from region to region, country to country.
I was in that very situation about three years ago. By taking my daughter with me, insisting she sleep where I was staying, and controlling the visitations with her father, I was able to set the status quo. The courts, generally, are reluctant to go against the status quo, unless there is some form of concrete proof that it is in the child's best interest.
Just remember, going through a divorce is not the child(ren)'s fault...don't make them suffer! As separated/divorced parents, the ONLY question should be, "How can we be the best co-parents?" Should you go through the entire process of a trial, keep that in your mind as you ask/answer every question. And if your spouse is unable to do the same thing, all the better for you.
If you leave your husband and take your child with you, you better hurry and get temporary custody of your child legally. I lost my son because I left without filing the proper paperwork in court to give me temporary custody. He took him from me during a visitation and I now only get every other weekend and pay 300.00 child support. All because I didn't get a temporary parenting plan. Unless one or both parents have court papers showing custody, either parent can legally take the child. If you don't have papers, your husband could pick your child up from school and there isn't a thing you can do about it. If you call the police requesting visitation or the return of the child they won't do anything unless you have papers in hand. If you want custody, get it through the family court.
The term "primary joint custody" is contradictory. Primary (or sole) custody means one parent has full rights of decision as to the care of the child, including education, medical treatment, etc. Joint custody means parents share equal rights in major decisions such as moving the child to another state or country. One parent cannot legally take such action without the other's consent or without permission of the court.
United States
State laws vary widely in the United States but in almost every state the biological parent has sole rights to custody of the child. If a custodial parent dies the surviving natural parent will normally be granted custody of the child unless they have already been deemed an unfit parent. The surviving parent should consult with an attorney.
That is why the US returned a little boy to his father in Cuba when his mother died while bringing him to America. This was done even though the parents were divorced and the grandparents fought to keep him in the US
You go to the court and file a violation of a court order. You will both be served the petition and have to go back to court and that's when you explain to the judge he hasn't been showing, and the judge will deal with the situation on the assigned court date.
The situations that lead to divorce are always very bad for kids. (The divorce itself is the secondary thing). Parents treating each other without respect, having no value for the family, working each other down psychologically, arguing and fighting endlessly -- these all leave imprints on the kids that last a generation or more. If the two people you value and trust most in the world cannot preserve a trusting family relationship, that leaves the child with a legacy of mistrust, fear of bonding with another person, a feeling of dread that all good things end.
The divorce itself cements in the damage done by the situation that preceded it. Courts and lawyers and supervised visits and unaccompanied minor trips on airplanes and sniping by parents at the absent former partner all break down a child's ability to ever have a positive loving relationship.
Further, in the 10 years after the divorce, while men have typically had time to rebound economically, women and children of divorce average 2 socio-economic steps lower. That's right - divorce is most likely a ticket to long term financial crisis and limits for children.
So ... divorce to get away from a dangerous felon ... good for the child.
Divorce for almost any other reason ... very bad for the child.

No. Parents have a legal obligation to care for their children, and that certainly includes financial support. If one parent leaves the household and stops acting as the custodial guardian of their children, the custodial parent can file for child support, regardless of marital status.
With that said, laws vary greatly from state to state, and if you’re considering a child support case, you should speak with your attorney to make sure you understand your rights and obligations. This is especially important if you’re planning on sharing custody of your child or children with your ex-partner.
With that said, here are a few important things to keep in mind. Note that this is an overview, and no part of this answer is intended as legal advice.
To file for child support, look up the requirements for your state. Many states have online applications to make the process easier.
If you'd prefer not to apply online, contact a child support agency in your area. Be prepared to provide relevant documentation supporting your claim, and remember, if you're involved in a custody dispute or divorce, you should seek advice from a qualified attorney working in your state where the divorce has been filed.
the duties is that a mother must always be the for the child and make sure he child is at a good stage or health
ANSWER 2:
The above answer is a good summary but i don't think that's what the person asking this question would need since its too vague and they can always be there for the child yet not knowing his/her need. From my winter class in development, I've learned that there are quite a lot of things that a mother needs to do for her child.
One thing is to encourage language growth and this can be done by:
-speaking to her child frequently
- naming objects of children's attention (associating words like calm, annoying to certain things)
- Using speech that is more grammatically sophisticated = a lot of parents like baby talking to their children, but this action should be discouraged since by doing so it will delay development of the children's sophisticated speech. what they will learn instead of proper speech is making funny sounding sounds like boo boo dada, etc. Instead of getting them out of that phase it really just delays them from moving on.
- reading to them stories
- encouraging watching programs with emphasis on learning new words = just leaving them in front of the television is not a good idea however. Just schedule a specific amount of time to let them watch per week. Recommendations for tv shows would be shows like sesame street that really puts emphasis on language and shows like Dora the explorer which encourages the viewers to participate.
This addition that i did is still but a small fraction of the duties of a mother and really just applies to babies up to young kids but is restricted to only the language growth part. There are still more additions to this if the aim is to really say all the duties of a mother to a children but ill leave that to others to add since ill be writing pages if i even try to list all of it. Not to mention, living is a life of learning, and no matter how much study i do, i would never in my life reach the point that ill know it all.
Yes, there is legal aid for low income fathers and mothers. The Legal Aid Foundation offers free or income adjusted legal aid for a variety of people.
Usually because they are stingy and lazy and are expecting you to do it! It happened to me and believe me when I say I ran with the ball he tossed over and got a lawyer. I played a real sneaky on him. I went to my lawyer, so my husband had to get one. The divorce should have been easy as there were no children or property involved, but he was just miserable. He was going to give evidence so the divorce would be quick, but he would back out all the time. He was the one cheating! Finally I told my lawyer to phone his and tell him that if he didn't settle this divorce quickly and if he didn't stop blaming me (expecting me to pick up the tab for the divorce) that I would contest the divorce in court. This would have made him wait 3 years or more to ever marry and his mistress was putting pressure on him for the divorce to be finalized. He was livid and had to pay for the divorce. After all he put me through it made me feel darn good! We both moved on and yes, he did marry his mistress. Might be too much hassle. If it's in CA his ex wife will get half of whatever they own together. It is also VERY costly with lawyer fees and time off work to go to court dates etc. Most men stay married (even though they no longer have ties to the ex), but go on living their lives as single men. It might be that's the case, and if it was really that ugly of a seperation, he has no intentions of ever getting married again.
