If you get served does this mean a court date will be set?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Not necessarily. Being served with legal documents typically means that someone is giving you notice of a legal proceeding or action, such as a lawsuit. It does not automatically mean that a court date will be set. Court dates are typically established later in the legal process, depending on the nature of the case and the actions taken by both parties involved.

If the court awarded custody of the child to the father on what grounds would the court give custody to the mother if she took him to court?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Most courts use the best interest of the child to determine custody. If the court awarded custody to the father, it determined that living with the father is better for the child than living with the mother. In most states, you can file a new suit to modify custody after the fact. You generally have to wait for a certain period of time after the first award, and you'll need to prove that there has been a sufficient change in circumstances such to warrant changing the prior order. At that point, you would then have to prove that the child's needs would be better served by being moved to the mother's custody.

Custody modifications are difficult, tedious and expensive. If you are serious about this, you need to start talking to a good lawyer.

Harm alone does not reward you the custodial parent status. In most instances where harm is apparent, Child Services will intervene and correct the issue before it becomes an abusive situation. In many different ways, you must also prove the parent unfit. The process is and will be expensive, complicated and lengthly. If you have the funds and evidence to pour into a complex case, it may be in the child's best interests for you to pursue. Depending on the state the child resides, this case starts at $3500-$5000 to retain representation. You will have to petition in the state in which the child resides. I caution you, do not attempt to pursue for your own well being. The attorney representing the father will have you extensively evaluated to determine your true motive. In most cases, the original court order will not be overturned.

if you could prove harm is being done to the child.

Whats the difference between a trial court and a appellate court?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

USUALLY A TRIAL COURT IS WHEN SOMEONE IS TAKEN TO COURT FOR SOME REASON OR ANOTHER. THE APPELLATE COURT IS WHEN YOU WANT TO APPEAL A DECISION THAT WAS MADE BY THE JUDGE

A trial court hears testimony, examines evidence, rules on the admissibility of evidence and objections of trial counsel, issues a judgment on the case, and imposes sentence or penalties/awards. A trial court may also impanel juries and give them instructions for deliberating. An appellate court only reviews the decisions of lower courts, which include trial courts and in some cases lower appellate courts. They do not hear testimony or examine new evidence. They only review the record of the lower court, and may hear oral arguments from the attorneys involved in the appeal. An appellate court may uphold the decision of the trial court, or return the case to the trial court for reconsideration or a new trial.

Can a parent with sole custody move out of state if the other parent doesn't visit?

User Avatar

In most cases, yes.

How can a child legalize their immigrant parents?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The law allows a parent(s) to give temporary custody (3 months or less) to a family relative or qualified adult caregiver. The parent(s) must give written notarized permission for the child/children to reside with the other person(s). This authorization should include all issues pertaining to the care of the child.Specific dates for the change of residency to begin and end. Permission for the child/children to receive medical and dental care. Permission for the child/children to be enrolled, or continue in school (if applicable). Terms for the payment of financial support. And any other necessary stipulations pertaining to the individual child/children that is needed. The parent(s) must also keep regular weekly contact with the child/children and the adult caregiver. Even if this is done in the correct way, there is no guarantee that state social services will not intervene if there are problems. Any term longer than three (3) months must be handled through the prescribed legal guidelines of the state of residency.
