Custody

Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Remember, a child's mother can always be identified by medical records. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he must establish his paternity by signing the birth certificate at the time of birth (waiving DNA testing rights) which must be done with mother's consent.

If he doesn't sign the birth certificate then he must seek another way to establish his paternity and that is done through a DNA test. A paternity test can be arranged through the court. Once paternity is established in court, the father can request visitations or custody through the court. If the mother retains physical custody she can request that the court issue a child support order. If the father gets physical custody he can request a child support order.

If the mother has interrupted her career more than the father for her children, surely she has the better argument for custody? Custody should depend on how the children are treated, not on how hard the mother found it/finds it to get a job. The father would probably have to work less when they have custody of the children anyway.

No. They are not blood relatives, which an immediate family member is. I.e. Mom, dad, brother, sister

It can, yes. If the new spouse is able to provide a better standard of living for the child in terms of a more stable environment and will financially provide for the child, the judge may feel it is in the child's best interests to live with that parent and their new spouse. Of course, if there are any skeletons in the new spouse's closet, you can bet they will be brought forth in the hearing, so sometimes marriage can work against you.

For an informed opinion, you should consult with an attorney specializing in family law in your state of residence.

Yes, until the father has established his paternity and arranged for a custody hearing if he wants custody.

A court appointment of a legal guardian extinguishes any power of attorney that was executed by the ward prior to the guardianship. Therefore a person with a legal guardian has been removed from their legal relationship with an attorney-in-fact and the power of attorney is no longer valid. The AIF should be notified of the guardianship and that they are no longer the AIF.

As a matter of law, a child in Ontario is able to withdraw from parental control at age 16, thereby having the right to make her or his decision as to which parent to live with. In cusdody disputes, a judge will place greater weight on the child's preference from about age 12 upward.

Like most states, Nebraska has no specific law or case law reference. It's determined on a case by case matter. The judges has to evaluate the child's level of maturity and intent. But, this will not override what is in the child's best interest.

It depends on why the rights were terminated. If your ex is getting re-married and the new stepparent wants to adopt the child, then you can still get visition. If parental rights were terminated because you didn't want to pay child support, didn't have regular contact with the child, or if they were taken from you in the best interest of the child, then no. You signed over your child and stated on paper that you are no longer their parent. Congratulations.

You have to go to court and seek custody as well as guardianship.

Sure. The unrestricted life tenant can do anything on the property he or she wants to, except perhaps waste or encumber it, for as long as he or she lives. This could include, for example leasing it to someone else entirely.

It's as if the life tenant "owns" the property, but only for life.

No. Even though an unwed biological mother holds full custodial rights to the child the father of the child must be notified and agreeable to such action.

The court will require that paternity has been established and the biological father has been notified of the guardianship petition. The father then has the option of agreeing or contesting the matter.

FYI, a parent regardless of marital status cannot arbitrarily sign over the rights of their child/children. Temporary custodial rights can be given to another family member or qualified adult. Temporary custody in most instances is considered to be 90 days or less. During that time the biological parent(s) must keep in contact with the caregiver and the child through visitation, phone contact and/or written correspondence. It is also necessary to have a written agreement relating to the arrangement of financial support for the minor child/children.

That depends on the order, some orders are time limited. In general terms though these orders stand until they are complied with. For Example: If a court orders you to cut down a tree, finds you are in contempt for refusing to cut down the tree - the order stands until you cut down the tree (or cause it to be cut down) OR upon order of the court the court orders it cut down and billed to you.

Yes your parent does even for college! It depends on the state laws governing schools. In most situations parents only need to enroll the student at the K-7 grade levels. The exception for high school is if the student is transferring from another district. Middle school transcripts are sent to the high school the student will attend, some Freshman may need a parent if there is a problem with the student's records. I have never known anyone needing a parent to enroll them in college, as most students have reached the age of majority (18) when they enter. Obviously that would not apply if the child is a "whiz kid" entering college at the age of 14 which does happen, although it is quite extraordinary.

18

My order says it stops at 18, Hig School graduation, or 21. So I would think so.

If your child is an emancipated minor and you are required by law to pay the child support then those responsibilities to pay the child support do not just go away. You are supposed to go to family court and take your case there. Just because your child is an emancipated minor does not mean that you are not supposed to pay child support any more.

If you are a minor you can not decide until you are 18 years old. Unless you jave been emansipated.

An unmarried mother has full custody of her child unlessthe father has established his paternity through the court. He can then request custody and visitation rights. A divorced mother must review her divorce decree and all related court orders if she is unsure about the status of the custody of her child.

Not without permission from the court with agreement from the joint custodial parent.

Custodial responsibility relates to a formal assignment of responsibility of products to soldiers for which they have custody but not necessarily their use.

It indicates that one parent has the child or children less time than the primary custodial parent. For example the children may reside with the mother the majority of time, and have visitation with the father on weekends, holidays, etc. The parent with primary custody is the one who has specified rights to make decisions such as schooling, medical care and so forth. Joint custody indicates each parent has equal rights as to how the children are cared for in the above mentioned instances, and other contributing factors. Sometimes the court specifies such rights in the custody order, sometimes they are only implied.
