Does a mom have guardianship over a child if they are 17?
State law may vary, but in general, minors who are pregnant or have a child retain all the legal rights to said child as does an adult female unless a court rules otherwise.
How can you get the grandparent's custodial rights when the grandparent wants to give them to you?
No one can gain custody prior to birth.
An unmarried mother has sole custody of her child until the father establishes his paternity in court. Grandparents cannot take the child. The parents have to consent to a guardianship, or, their rights have to be taken from them by the court if they are determined to be unfit.
How is child support determined when custodial parent is married and unemployed?
I do not think that all states are standardized yet but in Nevada it is 25% of the non custodial parents income for the first child and then an added amount of something like 3% for every additional child.
The custodial parents income or marital status does not factor in at all.
What do you do if you lose in direct contempt of court?

Can a 17 year old decide what parent he wants to live?
Yes, the can. However most of the time they will let a child of over 15 choose for themself, depending on the situation. * Minors are never allowed to choose with whom they want to reside. In some situations a judge will interview the minor child in attempt to learn pertinent information, such as if the minor likes the school they are attending, their neighborhood, and so forth. A judge always basis the decision on what is in the best interest of the minor child and not on the preference of any of the involved parties.
In Ohio does the parent still have to pay child support if the minor kid has a baby.?

Can a non-custodial parent move?
A non-custodial parent can move, but must always make child support services aware of the new address and phone number. Of course if child support is being paid, then that should continue to happen. Your question was very vague. But you always want to continue your vistation rights and if you move from one state to another you'll have to go back to court, unless you and the custodial parent make a decision that would allow you to bring the child acrosss stte line. You'd need to check the laws in your state and read your child custody/support papers to see how your state handles this.
Can parents take there child with them when joining the army?
No. Enlistment is voluntary only. The parent may encourage the child, may leave the child no other option other than poverty and life on the streets, if that child is 17.5 years old that is, but the parent cannot enlist the child.
What if both parents agree with who gets custody?
The kid cant choose who they want to live with because they probably love the parents equally or they don't want to disappoint one parent by choosing another parent. Take it from me. I am a kid with divorced parents and there was a point when i had to choose and couldn't because my siblings and i were to young. My parents thought of and equally shared schedule.
What age can a child pick which parent they want to live with in NC?
In NC there is no certain age. A child of "sufficient age to exercise discretion" has a right to be heard regarding who he/she wants to live with. Basically it depends on the maturity level of the child. Of course, that doesn't mean that the judge will agree to whatever the child wants, it just means the judge will take the child's wishes (along with other things) into consideration when making the final decision.
How old must a child be to refuse to return to his parent?
Generally, minor children have no right to disobey.
If a child choses to disobey the parents there is not much the parents can do asside from try to reason with them. ii's a Catch 22 situation, only the children have rights the parent only have laws restraining them.
If a child becomes institutionalised as a result of a disagreement they are mixed with criminals to hold up as an example.
Can you sue your ex wife for 18 years of child support you paid for a child who is not yours?
It depends on the state you live in and the conditions of your existing child support order. If it's California then chances are you shouldn't be paying on an 18 year old that is not a full-time high school student. If your order states that you should pay beyond this chances are it should be paid to whomever the child lives with and wont alleviate your obligation to pay. It's your responsibility to know when to stop paying child support and not illegal for the other party to keep receiving what you are freely giving especially when it's no secret the child no longer lives with the custodial parent. (not that I agree, personally I think its cruel) In sum, it's best you review your child support order for your specific conditions.

It depends on wether your grandmother will pay you or your family will pay you. Either way you should just do it for free. Do a good deed.
Do people who are adopted have the legal right to know who their biological parents are?
Yes they have a right to know. There are many Pro's like seeing what you actually look like beside them, meeting them for the first time, hearing their voices, spending time you lost together. However there are many Cons like, people fake to be the right person, they don't want to know who you are, you look nothing like them, they have drug addiction, alcohol addiction anything. But it is better to find out than it just being a dream. Hope that is enough for you.
In general, parental rights are terminated either preparatory to an adoption, or after a trial in which it is determined that the parent is unfit. In any case, termination of parental rights does not, in itself, terminate child support.
How old do you have to be to decide who you live with if your parents are divorced in minnesota?
Sorry but personal messages must be removed. Apparently there is already a custody order in place. When such an order has been issued by the court it is very difficult to have it overturned, as it is assumed by DHS that the custodial parent has been found acceptable to have the children in their care. One thing that is needed is corroborating testimony to the abuse by someone outside of the family, such as a teacher, minister, doctor and so forth. The testimony of the children will not be of much help (if they are even interviewed) until or unless the case is brought to court. The reason for this is children will generally say whatever they feel the adult who is questioning them wishes to hear especially parents, other family members or persons in authority such as a police officer. Any time a child is taken to a medical facility or doctor and has signs of mistreatment the personnel are required by law to make a report to the police who refer the incident to the state agency of jurisdiction.

The question suggests that you should talk to a lawyer. If you can't afford one, speak to a public defender. They will be able to provide good guidance on this. There is no magic to the writing of the letter itself, it's more about whether it is a good idea to submit it, and if so, when.
