Added: The first answer is, of course, correct. However there is a CAUTION: do it under legal circumstances. Do not go charging into her/their home and attempt to take the children by force.
As that would be considered abduction. see linksYou didn't read what you were signing?
Yes. The payments should be turned over to the person who has legal custody. Child support should have been addressed at the time the guardianship was granted to the grandparent. If that was not done, the child's father needs to go to court to have the support order modified so he can pay the grandparent. If that happens you may be required to pay back any money you accepted when the child was not in your custody. You should review the court order that transferred legal guardianship to the grandparent. If you still have questions you should visit the family court and ask to speak with an advocate. You need to avoid future problems that may arise if you spend child support that you are not entitled to receive.
Can a step mom get full custody of the kids?
You haven't provided enough detail regarding the reason or the existence of living biological parents and other biological relatives. The following is general information regarding step-parents and legal guardianship.
State laws vary widely in the United States but in almost every state the biological parent has sole rights to custody of the child. If a custodial parent dies the surviving natural parent will normally be granted custody of the child. In most states they are under no legal obligation to make any custody arrangements or visitation arrangements with the step-parent. Step-parents are never automatically favored over biological parents. A step-parent is never the "default" parent when the custodial parent dies and there is a living biological parent. Step-parents have no legal claim to step-children. The only time the step-parent will be favored for legal custody is if the step-parent legally adopted the child and the biological parent thereby relinquished their parental rights.
Biological parents with sole or joint custody have the legal right to make decisions for their child. Those rights do not extend to the step-parent except on a short term basis when the custodial parent is away or the child is in the sole company of the step-parent. A custodial parent cannot affect legal custody or state law by any provisions in their will.
In many states the step-parent has the right to petition for custody but that doesn't mean it will be granted. Most states still follow the 'unfit parent' and 'best interest of the child' rules. The living parent must be deemed unfit or granting custody to the step-parent must be shown to be in the best interest of the child. In this the step-parent is on the same legal ground as a grandparent or any other relative. Best interest of the child (regarding a step-parent) requires some special circumstances such as not separating the child from their half-siblings, or a child who has developed a special bond with a step-parent in the long absence of the biological parent.
One way to insure a step-parent will have continued involvement in the child's life after the death of the biological custodial parent is to create a trust with the step-parent as trustee. A parent can express their desires for guardianship or custody in their will, however, their will is not binding on the court as to where the minor child will live or with whom. The bottom line is that any person involved in this type of situation must consult with an attorney who specializes in family law in their particular jurisdiction. Advice from someone about a case in one state may not apply in another state. In fact, it usually doesn't.

It means having someone with supervisory authority on the scene at all times. In the case of visitation rights, it normally means having an official of the appropriate agency present, or an appointee of the court.
What are some non-traditional approaches to managing a child-related situation?
Could you please be a little more specific as to the child-related problem. Hope to hear from you soon.
Of course! Call the father and talk to him one on one.(no kids around) convince him. If he still says no say they will call you everyday... If he gives you permission tell him to call his current wife. Get it in writing so he can not charge you for kidnapping or abduction or whatever. Have people that were witnesses also.
If he threatened to kill you, i sure hope you reported it to the police.
And if so, that started a record, a dangerous one at that.
If he has a record of illegal drug use it would be more than difficult for him to receive rights.
Without a job, he will not be able to pay child support. which is critical in parental rights.
Answer:About the answer above: A parent does not need to pay child support to have parental rights. The child is entitled to both parents regardless. Visitation and child support are 2 different issues.You are asking about two different issues. He can go to court to get the DNA test and sign the birth certificate if he wishes to and that will not hurt the child in any way. The birth certificate will not get him parental rights.
It's also important the child knows in the future who the father is.
If he wants access to the child he have to prove paternity in court and can then petition for visitation, custody and pay child support. Then is when you show the court the proof you have that he is abusive and unfit to be around the child. They can then deny him these rights and even end his parental rights and if you wish, not claim child support from him unless you need benefits because in that case he have to pay first.
If you do not have proof you can ask for supervised visitation only and get a resraining order for him against you so at least you do not have to meet him.
So one thing at a time and get a lawyer and gather your proof.
Is custody up until the time someone is sentenced?
If someone is 'remanded in custody' - it means the judge considers the defendant might...
(1) interfere with a witness
(2) commit more crimes or
(3) attempt to leave the country
Remanding them in custody means they'll be held either at a police station, or in a remand prison until the day of their hearing. They'll be transported to the court from where they're held to hear their sentence and, of given a custodial sentence, transported back to a prison.
Another Perspective
If you are referring to a custody order issued by a family court, you should visit the court and ask to speak with an advocate who can tell you how to obtain a temporary emergency order and then a modification of the custody order. The standing custody order should be modified to reflect the change in circumstances.
you can't abduct children legally. They are also the mothers therefore the husband can't take the kids away from her unless they have gone to court and they have set up an agreement.
