What is the word for a child without a father?
Everyone has a father. Not all know their father. Not all live with or near their father. Some never see their father.
Colloquial terms for a illegitimate children are:
- bastard
- illegitimate child
- extramarital child
- fatherless child
- bar sinister
Many of these are now considered offensive.
If by withholding the information she is preventing him from seeing the child she is in contempt of the court order.
no, i would rather seek child support than to let my child stay to his or her father, and that would be my right as a mother to take care of my children. Children needs the rearing of a mother while they were young, and i cant work well if i cant be able to see my child everyday.

As for the last part of the above answer, it's not about you, it's about what's best for the children. Whether or not you can "work well" is not the responsibility of your children; it's yours, as the adult and the mother.
If you are not stable, or in a position to take proper care of your children, then you owe it to them to let their father do it until you can. You must feel their father can provide a stable home for them, otherwise I don't think you would have even considered letting them stay with him temporarily, would you?
There is no shame in needing time to get stable and get on your feet, it happens to many divorced parents. A divorce is hard on everyone, but it's hard on the children, too. And that's all the more reason they need to be in the most stable home and environment possible.
You need to look at the bigger picture here. Where do you see yourself and your children a year or two from now if you don't do all you can to get yourself in a more stable position? Probably not a very pleasant place for any of you, don't you think? Where do you see yourself and your children a year or two from now if you do all you can to get yourself in a more stable position? Probably in a much better place, don't you think? And with your children living with their father while you get your life together, you will be able to do that much sooner than if you don't. Again, you need to look at the bigger picture.
Just the act of even asking this question shows you love your children and want what's best for them, and I applaud you for that. I suggest you talk to your ex husband about temporary custody, just until you do get on your feet. If it would make you more comfortable, you can even have your attorney draw up papers stating that it is only temporary, just until you get on your feet and can give your children the care they deserve.
Your children have two parents, and they need both parents in their lives. By letting your ex care for the kids temporarily, that doesn't mean you won't get to spend time with them, it only means he will give them a stable home while you are getting your life together. It also means they will realize you love them enough to not be selfish, and to do what is best for them.
What do you do if your kids father refuses to give your child back to you after his visitation?
If you have a court order of the custody agreement you can call the police.
How do you submit your answer in a custody case?
First, you should be represented by an attorney if you want the best results possible. The attorney will answer the complaint for you. If you can't afford an attorney you should visit the family court promptly and ask if there is an advocate who could advise you how to file your answer.

Go to court dressed and groomed appropriately, poise yourself as if you are an attorney, and ask the judge to implore the father to provide PROOF of income. Some judges will; some won't. It will help if you can provide proof to the judge of him recently spending money on things like new vehicles, boats, motorcycles, buying a house, taking an extended and expensive vacation, etc. Good luck!

Why do divorced parents guilt trip their children?
A loving parent would not intentionally make the child feel guilty for a divorce. In many respects, they tend to overcompensate by spending more money on the child, since there is less time that can be spent with the child.
There can be cases of unintentional guilt.
However, some parents use the child as a weapon against the other parent. Usually this parent is bitter about the divorce, and seek control as a form of revenge.
Regardless, once a child is an adult, he can live his or her own life. They can also choose to seek professional therapy to deal with any lingering guilt issues.
(ps: I am not a trained or educated psychologist. These are just my opinons).
What is the financial responsibility of the parent who doesn't live with the child?
The non-custodial parent pays child support. The amount would depend on the provisions of the divorce decree, separation agreement, child support order and state laws. If the parents are not married, the father's paternity must be established in court and the court will issue a child support order.
Every state has child support guidelines based on such factors as income of the parties, age of the child, which parent provides health insurance and whether the child receives any government support.
Who is the responsible party of outstanding balances for children with divorced parents?
Financial obligations regarding children are (should be) set forth in the court orders issued at the time of the divorce. You can obtain a copy by visiting the court. If that issue is not addressed in the court orders then you will need to return to court to have that matter resolved by a judge if the parties cannot come to an agreement.

What is the best shared parenting schedule for a 4 year old boy?
This is going to depend on your child and his needs.
If it's possible, a shared custody arrangement can be a good thing for many children provided that the parents can be amicable to each other for the sake of their child, and provided they live within a reasonable distance and both have homes set up with a room, furniture and even clothes for the child to make the transition from one home to the other easiest.

Does the father have same right as mother over child custody?
If you are married, yes.
Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Remember, a child's mother can always be identified by medical records. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he must establish his paternity by signing the birth certificate at the time of birth (waiving DNA testing rights) which must be done with mother's consent. If he doesn't sign the birth certificate then he must seek another way to establish his paternity and that is done through a DNA test.
A paternity test can be arranged through the court. Once paternity has been established the father can request visitations, joint custody, full custody or the court will set up a schedule of regular child support payments for the child if she is to remain in the custody of her mother. The court will schedule a hearing and issue an order that is in the best interest of the child.
Does divorce have any effect on children?
Divorce is an intensely stressful experience for all children, regardless of age or developmental level; many children are inadequately prepared for the impending divorce by their parents. A study in 1980 found that less than 10% of children had support from adults other than relatives during the acute phase of the divorce.
Is it scary flying alone as a child?
it depends on the child's mindset and previous expieriences but i myself have flown many times and at a young age and have never been worried. if you think that its an issue the best way to help is reasuring the child that it is an adventure and will be fun
Name Something babies do that you would be embarrassed to be seen doing as an adult?
Pee in pants, Poop in pants, burp, cry, spit up, drool, suck thumb
Unfortunately siblings do fight especially those close in age. The reason is that usually kids and teenagers do not try to think about how the person there fighting with feels and they always think there always right. Try talking to each other and not losing your temper and if u feel to angry just try to walk away and cool off.
- Your mother is well aware of what type of man she has married and it is up to her to try and resolve the problem. You and your brother should sit down with your mother when your step-dad is not there and tell her how you both feel. If things get really bad and your mother does nothing about abusive behavior by your step-dad then you can phone Child Aid and have them resolve the issue.
Should children be able to decide which parent they live with after a messy divorce?
The children can give their opinion as to whom they wish to live with, although it is frowned upon by many when a judge asks children to give such an opinion as it creates a feeling in the child that they are betraying the parent. It is ultimately the decision of the family court judge, who must weigh the evidence and decide the division and type of custody granted to each parent. Of course, many other factors add into the decision, such as abuse issues (if present), stable living situation, financial situation, etc. Basically, child's opinion matters, but is not the ultimate deciding factor as to custody.
I don't think the failed marriages would make her an unfit mother. But for her to move 26 times in 6 years indicates a lack of stability for the kids, which could help in proving her an unfit mother.
But there will most likely have to be more to it than just her moving in order for her to be declared unfit. Does she drink excessively or do drugs? Does she neglect the children? Does she abuse them in any way? Has she ever allowed her two other husbands to abuse them? Does she allow different men to spend the night while the kids are hom? Those are only some of the issues that would come into play in having her declared unfit.
If I'm not mistaken, I think the burden of proof would be on you to prove she is unfit, rather than her proving she is not unfit. So if I were you, I would gather as much information as possible, even talking to any family members or friends of hers to see how much information you can get from them. Just keep in mind that some of them (if not most or even all) will be reluctant to help you prove her to be an unfit mother. So it may be best to approach them in a friendly, but discreet manner, not letting them know whyyou are asking them any questions.
If you really believe she is unfit, then you could also hire a private detective to watch her for a while. If you can't afford to do so, then you may want consider going there and watching her (and taking photos) yourself, and maybe even get a relative or trusted friend to help you if you can't spend enough time doing it due to your job, distance, etc.
And (assuming you are the father or another close relative) you can always visit the kids and talk to them. They can provide a wealth of information, just be careful in how you ask them. You don't want to approach them in a manner that will make them afraid to answer, or afraid they may get their mom or themselves in trouble. And you certainly don't want to get them involved in your case against her, as this would be putting them in the middle of something over which they have no control.
If all of this fails, then you need to talk to an attorney who can further advise you.
