What rights do single mothers have?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I can only tell you by my recent experience, I am as well a single mother, my sons father is not on the birth certificate, until it is established in court and he has established visitation and custody you have sole custody, this was told to me by the sheriffs office as well as a lawyer, but the one thing that they can do is hold it against you in court is if you withhold the child from him and do not let him see the child. I've been going through hell with this now. It's been a power struggle and he is trying to play a game of tug of war with our son.

Is a voice recording of someone admitting to something admissible in custody cases?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes it is as long as the other person knew it was being recorded (ie. voice mail). If the recording was with a hidden recorder then it can not be used as evidence. * Rhode Island allows "one person" taping of phone conversations and in-person conversations without the knowledge of other participants. The designation of "one person" applies to the caller or the person receiving the call or both, or to the person(s) engaged in face-to-face conversation. RI General Statutes, 11-35-21 (c)(3). Whether or not such recordings can be entered as evidence against or for either party involved in any type litigation depends upon the ruling of the court.

What parental rights do domestic partners have?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This depends upon what registry and what jurisdiction you are asking about. The statewide registry of domestic partnerships in California, Nevada and Oregon statutorily provide rights and responsibilities identical to legal marriage. In other places, however, the rights are usually much fewer and are set by municipal law, rather than state law.

Can you give temporary guardianship of your child with a notarized letter to your mom while he's in state custody and how?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You cannot award custody of your child if he is in state custody, only the state can do that. However, your mother can file a motion in the court with jurisdiction requesting guardianship of the child. A hearing will be held and an investigation conducted by the state's social security division in charge of child welfare to determine whether or not such a placement would be in the child's best interests. Depending on the law where you reside and the circumstances surrounding your child being remanded to the care of the state, your permission may or may not be required for guardianship to be awarded and again, depending on state law may (or may not depending) need to be secured before such an action is initiated, filed with the motion or presented in court during the hearing.

Only if you know for a fact that the county posts this information on line. Many counties in this country do not, due to manpower limitations, and budget and cost considerations.

When you adopt someone can you get a birth certificate made?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This is a vital question. In New Zealand for example, two people merging their families, by formal adoption after their new marriage, may no longer be able to request the birth certificates of the children, because the new parents are not the birth parents! (After adoption.)

This could affect the children's ability to claim citizenship via a parental trail.

In the case known, the new partners knew of this klutz, and obtained the childrens birth certificates before the new marriage, and the subsequent adoptions proceeded OK.

So get the birth certificate before adoption.

What are the chances that a father who never married the mother and also has two sons from a previous marriage could get shared physical custody of an 8-month-old child?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Truthfully, not too good. A baby is most likely to be left with the mother. Although if there are drugs or domestic violence involved it changes it drastically. Your two sons might be an influence as the court wouldn't want to separate the children and that is a positive for you. Also any property you might have owned before the marriage might influence the courts decision as if it is your house (purchased before the marriage) you all currently live in it is also to your favor. Good Luck.
