Custody Documents

In Texas, it is generally not considered best practice for a notary public to notarize a document for a family member, as it may create a conflict of interest or give the appearance of impropriety. It is recommended to seek another notary who is not related to the individual signing the document to ensure impartiality and adherence to ethical standards.

A minor child becomes a legal resident of Virginia when they establish domicile in the state, typically by living there with a parent or legal guardian who is also a Virginia resident. This process can vary depending on individual circumstances and legal factors. It's important to consult with an attorney or local authorities for specific guidance.

Circumstances can change. If, for example, your child is in the custody of someone who has now been arrested on drug charges, you can petition the court to award custody to you. If you don't have some concrete reason to believe that your child should be in your custody, but you merely regret having relinquished your rights, then it is unlikely that the existing decision would be reversed. Another angle is that even without a legal right to custody, you might still be allowed to visit if you are on good terms with the person who does have custody. Sometimes arguments can resolve, fences can be mended, and bygones can be bygones. It is generally a good thing for children to know their parents, and you can make that argument.

The age a child can make decisions in joint custody varies by state, but generally children are not legally able to make decisions until they reach the age of majority, which is typically 18. However, courts may consider a child's preferences as they get older, typically around age 12-14.

In many jurisdictions, it is permitted for a relative to serve court papers on another relative.

To stop a motion for a 12-year-old's testimony in a custody hearing, you would typically need to file a motion with the court and present legal arguments supporting why the child's testimony should not be allowed.

Consulting with a family law attorney would be advisable to navigate this process effectively.

Its too complex to do it yourself. Retain an attorney.

Your lawyer would be best able to answer that question. However, if you are unable to locate the person you may need to hire an investigator and if that does not work you need to search on numerous platforms like Arny records, Phonebook etc. Do a due diligent search.

If that fails to locate the person ask the judge to serve the papers by publication. This is the last resort the judge would want to try and after that, you can be granted full custody if the other person is unreachable or not locatable.

It would be wise to work with an attorney if you can't locate the person. If you can locate them and they refuse to be served you can have them served by different ways.

Some servers serve by nailing at the door of the address s/he resides in for sure or leaving it with a family member with close contact or leaving at his or her desk at work or with the manager. Your attorney would know what to do.

In some jurisdictions, child custody documents may need to be notarized to be considered legally valid and enforceable. It is important to check the specific requirements of the jurisdiction where the documents will be filed.

After being served child custody papers, the mother typically has a certain amount of time to respond and either agree to the proposed custody arrangement or contest it in court. If the mother contests the custody arrangement, a court hearing will be scheduled where both parties can present their arguments and evidence before a judge makes a final decision on the custody arrangement.

You should contact the court where the custody papers were initially filed and request new copies. It is important to have the official documents for future reference and to ensure compliance with any court orders regarding custody arrangements. Additionally, consider keeping digital backups to avoid future loss.

The timeframe for the first custody hearing after filing custody papers can vary depending on the court's schedule and caseload. It typically ranges from a few weeks to a few months. You can contact the court or your attorney for more specific information on scheduling.

If the birth father has paid no support and has had no contact with the child for one year, the stepfather may adopt in most states without permission of the birth father. However, this is still a legal process that requires a lawyer and court documents. The price can still range from $500 to $2000. In PA you can't put a father on the birth certificate at birth unless he signs for it and fills out a admission of paternity (if mother is unwed). If he is not listed on the birth certificate he has no legal rights and you don't have to ask him for anything. Especially if he cannot prove he was there or active. And if you went to domestic relations for paternity/support and he didn't show or pay it's an admission and most likely be seen as "turning over" his rights.

Move with someone? Who is the someone? I am assuming its another person you are in a relationship with.

I would say no you do not need custody in place if you and the child other parent are in good terms and no one parent rights are being violated.

Custody battles are a headache. Try to work it out with the other parent to save money and time.

Thank you.

The rules of visitation rights are included in the original custody agreement. If the exact wording is not present, the law presumes the noncustodial parent will adhere to the wishes of the primary custodial parent in such matters, or be in violation of a court order. If there is a joint custody order in place it should stipulate which parent is the managing conservator.
