Custody

It might be possible if the court decides that the parents of the minor are unfit to properly care for the child. Before a guardianship petition would be accepted from any adult concerning custody of a minor the minor's parents would have to voluntarily relinquish their rights or the court would have to permanently terminate the rights the parents to the minor child. In some cases a minor is placed in the home of a relative temporarily while an investigation is completed by child protective services or while the judge is deciding what action if any should be taken in regards to the minor child's welfare.

No. The mother must obey the visitation order or she will be in contempt of a court order. If the daughter has legitimate reasons why she doesn't want to go then the mother must return to court and request a modification of the visitation order. She should be prepared to provide compelling evidence as to the reasons for the modification and why it would be in the best interest of the child.

She can file a motion for contempt in the court that issued the child support order and seek help from the state child support enforcement unit. States take a parent's obligation to support their child quite seriously since the slack often must be made up by the public. They have the means to collect by garnishing wages, taking tax refunds, etc.

Emancipation is usually quite easily acquired if you can show that you can support yourself or show that your grandparents will support you. You do have to go to court. It's not as scarry as it sounds.

Yes. All SS benefits including SSI are subject to garnishment for child support obligations. If there is a court order in place for support the child support enforcement agency in the state where the order is issued should be notified if a non payment situation exists.

If there is no existing court order for child support the custodial parent or guardian should file a lawsuit in the civil court requesting financial support of the minor child/children.

It depends on a number of different factors. How often do you have the children vs the other parent? What is your income vs the other parent? etc. Child support is supposed to reflect the type of lifestyle your child may have had if the parents had stayed together. It is also to keep it fair to the parents. If one makes $50 a week and is told to pay $5 in support, but the other makes $1000 a week, asking only $5 from parent #2 wouldn't be fair. It is based on percentage. So even if you have 50% custody and visitation, if you make more money, then the bulk of support for the child will most likely come from you. Actully its not fair, but we have to pay it because people who dont work hard think it is fair. I work 60 hrs a week and my x wife who left me for another man only works 30 hrs a week. Even tho we make the same money an hr, since I work harder I have to pay the cheating coniving woman.

Go to your local Department of Human Services office and tell them that you want child support from him. If he is your ex husband and it was court ordered then he is now in contempt of court and is in trouble and must pay up or he could face fines, jail time, suspension of drivers licenses, etc...

When my sister went through this they asked her anything they wanted to. Anything that could possibily cause her to look like she couldn't take care of her kids. It was pretty nasty at times. It went on for several court dates. Be prepared for anything negative they might throw your way. Good luck.

a child custody lawyer is the same thing as a child advocate lawyer sort of. they are just children lawyers that fight for the child that is involved in an issue. so you have to get your degree in child advocate lawyer but you have to major in something, the best thing to major in would be social work or phycology.

A child can not decisively pick which parent he or she will live with. However, if the child is at least 12 years old, then he or she can submit to the court a preference. The Texas Family Code says this exactly:

§ 153.008. CHILD'S PREFERENCE OF PERSON TO DESIGNATE RESIDENCE. A child 12

years of age or older may file with the court in writing the name of the person who is the child's preference to have the exclusive right to designate the primary residence of the child, subject to the approval of the court.

Yes, but it grants him no rights

It depends on the state and whether or not her DNA is involved. You MUST have a contract in place before she becomes pregnant. It is very unlikely that a surrogate mother would attempt to keep the child. I think that it happens less than 1% of the time, and in those cases the parents usually win custody in court.

There are alot, and it is very saddening. May I ask why?

There are many reasons a family may take care of the grandparents.

One reason is that the grandparent(s) are unable to take care of themselves, which can happen for multiple reasons. Maybe the grandparent is mentally ill. Maybe the grandparent can not do things without help, such as cleaning or cooking.

The grandparent may recently have had surgery and not be able to do things for themselves. The grandparent may have physical problems or health problems. The grandparent may not have enough money to pay for someone else to care for them or for a rest home/nursing home.

If there is a divorce between the parents , the divorce decree would say with who the girl should live with , as the judge would have asked her privately while doing the case, so the judge will decide.

The same rights, unless a will states a differently. * In any US state it depends upon whether the person died intestate or if there was a valid Will. There are no laws that require a parent to leave any assets or property to children whether said children are biological or adopted. That being the case a parent(s) can legally exclude any or all children from a Will if they so choose. If the person dies without a Will the state's probate succession laws apply and adopted children are treated the same as biologcial children.

The law may vary depending on your location and the provision of your step child's custody order and whether or not you're simply giving them a ride for a prearranged appointment or if you are trying to make an appointment for them. In my state, a doctor may not render treatment to a minor child without the permission of a parent with sole or joint legal custody or in absence of that, a legally binding document such as a power of attorney or medical release form allowing an adult to act "in loco parentis" (in place of a parent). The only exception would be in the case of treatment rendered in order to save the child's life. This may be done without adult authority. Federal law (HIPAA) would not allow you to "sit in" on the child's appointment without the same.

You should probably consult a legal authority for this, or at least a hospital authority, but common sense tells me that the birth certificate must be a record of the parentage of the child, regardless of the mother's personal relationships. The lesbian partner is clearly not the father.

To get a DNA test through court you have to file through your local courts and also notify the court of why the test is being requested.

i would say yes but if you read the patriot act it pretty much says "EFF that amendment, theres terrorists out there who don't get a trial so we now dont have to give anyone a trial!" isn't our government geat?! abunch of EFFlords is wut they are.... anyway if you wanna see wut im talkin about look up US constitution vs pstriot act

Same as anywhere else in the US: the right to petition for custody or visitation and the right to pay support. [Paternity must be established before any discussion of rights or responsibilities.]

Does she not have custody and seeks to gain it? Or does she want to ensure ongoing custody of a child in her care? Generally speaking, a birth mother has the better chance of achieving or retaining custody than the father, but various factors will be taken into consideration if the courts are involved. Also under consideration will be the suitability of either parent to have or obtain custody. Ultimately the courts should consider the welfare and comfort of the child, and so should the parents.

It basically depends on where your considering on putting the child, is it within the same school district? Has the custodial parent moved to another home which has a new school? There are rules within schools nowaday and having to get permission to keep them within the same school if you have moved.

It depends on your mothers motivation. If the courts are agreeing with her, let it drop, there is probably a good reason for it. If he is trying to see you and the courts agree with him, she can go to jail for refusing to let you see each other. Otherwise, there's more going on than you understand. The only way that your mother has to let you see your father is if there is a court order in place ordering her to do so. (Unless you are 18 or older, then you can do what you want) I don't know how old you are, but either you or your dad would have to take your mother to court and have a hearing. If the Judge sees that your dad is a fit parent and is no threat to you, then the Judge will issue a visitation schedule for you to visit your dad. Your mom will have to comply with this because if she doesn't she will be breaking the law. Before you go forward with all of this, do you know the reason why your mother doesn't want you to see your dad? It may be for a good reason...my daughter's father is an abuser, more mentally than physically, and he is doing some damage to my child. If I could have him out of my daughter's life, I would in a heartbeat. Think about all the facts before making your decision.

Yes, if the parents have legally given up the child, the older sibling can become the legal guardian, but of course you must be 18 or older and you must be seen by judge in court to approve. I have seen this with the death of the parents, and i am pretty positive you can, talk to a lawyer.
