If you are adopted should your adoptive or biological father sign your wedding certificate?
If you are adopted, your biological father has no legal standing. And there is no requirement that any parent sign a wedding certificate. If you are underage, you may need signatures to obtain the marriage license and it would be the adoptive parent that would have to sign.

Can a mom take a 16 year old out of state to live without dads permission?
It depends on the divorce agreement. However, some of the decision points shouldn't just be about "ownership" of the child. Increased income, family support and other factors are as important. If you are the non-custodial parent, consider the legal costs to effect this change, which is only a two year decision at best--the child will be of age at 18. Also consider the family dynamics should you hold the decision up. Just saying to pick your battles and look outside the box.

No, all request for the termination of parental rights regardless of the state of residency, must be done through the proper court procedure. All states have specific requirements that must be met before the a TPR is granted. Even if all the proper documentation is submitted the final decision is made by the judge relating to what is in the best interest of the child, not the preference of either parent or interested party. In most states a judge has the power to restrict parental rights yet order support payments. Also, a judge can order the parent requesting a TPR to place a specific amount of money into a trust fund for the minor child or children with the fund being under the control of the court via a Guardian Ad Litem.
Only Indiana and Texas has laws setting out a specific age at which a child can make a choice the court is requiredto abide by, and even than there are some limitations. With those states, it is age 14. In all other states, the general rule of thumb is that a 12 year old can express and opinion, however the judge is under not legal obligation to consider, or even hear it. In either case, a motion to the court must be filed for a determination to be made. However, the child should be informed that there are alternatives to choosing to live with just one parent. The child should also be advised they can express a choice that they remain in one home and each parent can live with them for a designated period of time, than switch. This is called Bird Nest Custody.
Check link below for more info.It depends on the reason the child was placed under guardianship and not with his father in the first place. If the father wants to take custody and has not been deemed unfit, he must file a petition for custody in the court that has jurisdiction over the child which is the court that appointed the guardian.
When the case for visitation or custody comes up in court you must tell the judge.
You must provide the court with any and all evidence you can obtain that supports your claims. Your saying there is a problem is not good enough. If there is a history of domestic violence then obtain copies of the police reports and arrest records resulting from those times you called the police, if possible. Obtain any records of arrests on drug charges, if possible. If you cannot obtain those records yourself then tell the court about them and ask the court to review those records. The court won't know those problems exist until you testify to them. It will further investigate after your testimony and after you have provided any evidence you may have.
You should consult with an attorney who specializes in custody issues or if that's not possible then visit the local family court now and ask to speak with an advocate who can hear your story and advise you.
What age the child decides which parent they want to be their primary residence?
There is no legal age for this decision.
If the parents cannot agree, they can take this issue to court and a judge will make the decision.
Many judges do take the child's opinion into major consideration, but they'll also look into more practical issues like income, relation, and former records.
If your child doesn't want to see the father then the courts can not force them.
Can the mother keep the child from seeing his dad if he is paying child support?
Yes, they can. My parents are divorced. They got divorced when my mother was 8 months pregnant with me. My father paid child support until he got sick of it. But anyways, my mum kept me, and I'm still with her, 13 years, and same as my sister. :)
Payment of child support does not, in itself, confer any right to visitation. However, the custodial parent must abide by any visitation orders. In many States, violation of a visitation order is a crime.
What is your rights to attend pre birth appointments as an unmarried separated father?
You have no legal rights to anything, including contact with the child after the time of the birth. You voluntarily gave up any rights under US law by having sex with a woman you were not married to. This includes while being under a child support order. And no, ignorance of the law is not an excuse. To learn what you need to do, see the links below.
That depends on the state where the custody order was issued and the order's provisions, but in general, joint custody implies that both parents have equal say in decisions affecting a child's life and either parent has the power to ok or deny a decision such as a move, especially a move that would prevent a hardship to another parent in terms of their parenting time with their child. In other states, any child under a custody order is under the custody of the state as well, so any proposed move not only must be ok with both parents, it also requires permission of the court.
When in doubt, refer to the custody order, or at least provide the legal state (or country if outside the USA) of the child's current legal residence.
Your parents are wrong. You can't be changed, and there is no reason to change. But do not run away from home. Most homeless teens are gay. It's not the way to live.
If you gay, then it's best to be true to yourself. Yes, if you like, you can seek out help from Family Court, and be more in control of your own destiny. This could cost you a future relationship with your parents. Do what you need to protect yourself, even if that means "being quiet about it" until you are 18.
Right now you are angry at them, but please realize, they were brought up in another generation, and they realize the stigmatism when you are gay and how others can treat you (but it is getting better little by little). Part of them is confused over your sexuality and the other part is terrified something terrible will happen to you because you are.
Give your parents time to digest this. Mothers seldom will stray far from their children. My bet is once your mother has gotten over the shock, and you are no longer at home she'll miss you a lot and she will have no choice but to accept who you are. Your father may take a lot more time to get over this as it's a male thing.
Being gay is not disgusting or something to be ashamed of, if you really are. It's a fact of life. There are many opinions as to whether gays are born this way, someone has made them this way, down to a "demon in your soul." If a child can be born blind, without limbs, then too can others be born with too many male or female hormones and we are who we are. To live your life as a lie would be doing yourself an injustice and give you great pain.
Please answer those questions I gave you and be honest when you answer them. If even one of those questions is true then you must give yourself time to be sure you are truly gay. If I am wrong, then gay you are ... then believe in yourself and be the best you can be!
What makes a mother deemed unfit in GA?
It's not a matter of being unfit, but the best interest of the children.
see link below
Can you prove your child mother an unfit mother if she has multiple domestic battery charges?
Most of the time it comes down to simple facts, is the child ever wanting? Is there food and clothing? Is the child properly cared for? Is the child being brought up with a sound values and ethics?
If the other has been charged with domestic battery charges, the courts will look at what caused the battery in the first place. Was it due to alcohol use or drug use, was it a simple battery case where the spouse triggered the battery by being an idiot?
All these factors go into the decision of the courts, they look at both sides and more over how the child is fairing in this situation. If the courts feel the situation between the two parents is not conducive to the health and happiness of the child they can seize the child and remove it from both parents. This usually has conditions where the parents must seek counselling and help with abuse issues involving alcohol or drugs.
