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 and once established the father can request visitations, custody and set up a schedule of regular child support payments for the child.

There is no law in California that specifies the age.

The age at which a child can be left at home alone is only legislated in two states and California is not one of them. The legal check is whether or not the child is safe and has the ability to take care of themselves. Most authorities agree that leaving a 12 year old alone at home for an hour or two is acceptable, but they should not be responsible for other children.

If the Mother is dead or absent, it is Motherless. If the child has no parents alive or around, then that child is an orphan.

Termination of Parental Rights (TPR) is a court process which permanently ends all legal parental rights of a birthparent to a child. Termination of parental rights can be voluntary or involuntary. Termination of rights may often not terminate the obligation of the parent to pay child support unless the child is legally adopted by someone who assumes financial responsibility.

A termination of parental rights petition can be filed in the appropriate state court where the child lives.

Whether the petition will be granted depends upon the presiding judge. The decision is based upon the best interest of the child and not the preference of any involved party. Therefore a petition can be granted in full relieving the parent of all obligations including financial ones, be granted with specified terms, or be denied.

A full TPR petition is seldom granted for any reason other than for the child to become eligible for adoption.

A TPR request is not intended to be used as a legal way to avoid personal responsibility.

Unless the tenant was involved in the vandalism, the landlord is responsible for the repairs.

There is no height limit. You just have to be over 12 years of age, this is because air bags can kill you if you are under this age The answer is that you must be 12 years or older to sit in the front or else, if there is an accident you'll could have death.

If the minor is in public they are fair game.

Possibly. Depends on the situation. Two kids in high school, one 18 and the other 17, both roughhousing, no priors - probably not. 45 year old property owner surprised by a 17 year old burglar at 3am - probably not. 25 year old guy with priors and a 12 year old who sassed him - yes, that would be jail, at least, possibly prison.

It an issue that can be raised with the court in determining what affect if any this may be having on the child.

Only two states have legislated a specific age to leave a child home alone, Illinois and Maryland. Generally speaking, the child must be safe, must feel safe, and know how to take care of themselves in an emergency.

Depends on state\province usually you would call your local police station and they will complete a form and tell you the proper steps.

Generally, it depends on the marital status and whether there is a custody/visitation order in place. Married parents have equal parental rights.

When there are existing court orders in the United States a custodial parent cannot remove the child from the state for any extended period without the consent of the non-custodial parent and the court of jurisdiction. A non-custodial parent has visitation rights and denial of those rights by the custodial parent would constitute a contempt of court. Most states adhere to the Uniform Child Custody Act which would recognize any order regarding child custody and visitation entered by another court. Many people do not realize that a divorce automatically gives the state control over your child until they are no longer minors. You can't just decide to move. The matter would need to be reviewed by a judge.

Unmarried mothers have sole custody until the father establishes his paternity legally. The mother could move if the father had never established his parental rights. Once his paternity is established he can request joint custody and visitations and the mother would be required to obey the court orders. She could not move without the father's consent and/or a modification of the visitation order by the court.

A father with no established parental rights would need to file for an temporary emergency order to prevent the mother from leaving the state. He would then need to follow up and establish his paternity to gain his parental rights at that time.

Generally, no. If the mother has full legal and physical custody of that child she can move with that child unless the father has visitation rights. She must comply with the custody and visitation schedule set by the court with jurisdiction.

Parental consent to do what? Having a child does not emancipate you--you are still a minor and therefore under the control of your parents. However, you (not your parents) do have parental rights over your own child.

There are no laws regarding dating in any state. There are laws regarding contact sexual. They are two different things. However, the parents of a minor get to determine who their child is and isn't allowed to have contact with. If BOTH your parents and her parents (since you're both minors) are okay with the two of you dating, then fine. But if not, then you can't date.

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

Well if they have let their child become pregnant through bad parenting then they may as well sever their rights and let somebody who can parent the child. Just hand her over to childrens social services and be done with it !!!

This has been done, however, this does not mean it is legal.

== There is no legal requirement. They must be safe, feel safe and not scared, and know how to take care of any problems that may arise. Most authorities agree that a 13 year old can be left alone for a few hours during the day.

There are very few states in the U.S. with legal minimum ages, but many state agencies have published guidelines. Georgia, Illiniois, Maryland and Oregon are a few of the states with very specific ages. Typically 8 year olds and over can be left at home for up to several hours (usually after school before a parent gets home from work).

12 years old appears to be the most common recommendation. http://www.latchkey-kids.com/latchkey-kids-age-limits.htm provides a state by state comparison.

in the state of nebraska how old does the child have to be in order to choose which parent they want to live with

A biological parent is automatically the legal guardian of his or her minor child unless they voluntarily relinquish parental rights or the court terminates those rights to their child. Temporary custodial/visitation/support issues are decided at the time divorce papers are filed, the permanent decisions are finalized at the time the divorce decree is granted.
