If a biological mother finds out that her kids father has been to jail 2 times in the
last 6 months once for domestic violence, putting his wife in the hospital and finds out they live in a unhealthy/unstable living environment can she legally go get them because he is now only allowing very limited contact and after she gets them then, file for full custody in the state she lives in? Even though there are no legal court documents of court custody?

The first step is to report to the proper authorities the circumstances. If the mother wants full custody, then a criminal record on his part is one thing that should help her get it. Having the living conditions documented is also needed. The best interest of the children should be the key issue for any judge. It could take a little time, but work should be started immediately. Of course, this supposes that the mother is suitable, and able to care for the kids.

We have 50% custody of my step son and I am wondering at what age he can legally decide to change the custody agreement to spend more time with one parent?

You are confused. The child doesn’t change anything, one of the parents has to file and then the child can tell the Judge whom they would rather live with. That age depends on the Judge, it is usually between 12-14 when the court thinks they have a right to an opinion in their own whereabouts.

I live over 1000 miles from my childrens father. What is standard visitation during the holidays and summers in cases like this where i have sole custody? The children are both under 7.
I don’t see us agreeing. He is completely stubborn and a bully. It will be a fight.

Due to the distance involved, he will not get to visit the children very often, but you might let the children spend one week at Christmas with him, and half the summer with him.

well, i have my grankids, and da suppossly daddy of my grankids wants to have custody, but wat if they deport him, and wats going to happen to the kids wen he gets deported…..so its better for the cps jus to leave them wit me…..

Just because he isn’t legally in the country doesn’t mean he isn’t the child’s biological father with rights to that child.

I don’t have any idea what his rights are, though, or the childrens’ rights.

I hope it works out in the best possible way for those children.

The mother is 17 and the father is 20.
Who has custody, and is the mother allowed to move out of state with out the permission of the father?

You can not move out of the state that the child was born under any circumstances wheter or not you have fully custody or not even if the father isn’t on the birth certificate. You have to have permission from the other parent as well.

child custody nc
i really dont have time for those of you who are here to do nothing but make assumptions and insult me.i take this very seriously and im here to get real answers from poeple who know what they are talking about.
i dont want to get to personal with this but i need to give details to clarify some of the answers i am getting i know who the father of my child is we were together for a lil over a year honestly we weren’t living the best lifestyle and didnt mean to get pregnant he and his family are involved with drugs so was i but when i found out i was pregnant i completely changed my life around for my bby boy b/c he deserves the best and a fair chance at life with a good role model but the father refuses to do so him self and he thinks that he can bring my child into that world so i want to know what my rights are if he was to try to come and take the baby from me???

Illegitimate children born as a result of shacking up without taking the responsibility of getting married first are in the sole custody and control of the mother in 49 states by default, and without the need of the court to legitimize the immoral behavior, regardless of whether of not to name of the co-shack up is on the birth certificate or not. But, this can change quickly, as that’s what I teach the co-shack ups how to get equal rights, preferably Bird Nest Custody.

I’m living in Wisconsin and my ex is in Florida. I am currently pregnant with his child and I am trying to figure out from start to finish what the options and process are with interstate child custody.
I’m living in Wisconsin and my ex is in Florida. I am currently pregnant with his child and I am trying to figure out from start to finish what the options and process are with interstate child custody. He has already told me "we’ll let the courts decide." We got along until I told him I was pregnant.

You can open a case for custody/visitation, sometime even before the child is born, although it usually is done after the child is born depending on how your county handles it. Now, if your child is born in Wisconsin then this state holds jurisdiction over the child and you open a case there.

so right now im raising my daughter all on my own. her father wasn’t around to sign the birth certificate because he was in jail. he has a criminal history, and he has a problem with alcohol, and he joined a gang when i was pregnant. so is there a way i can get full custody and make it he has no visitation rights? because i don’t trust him anymore. and im scared for my daughter.

btw i live in canada.

It is normal in Canadian courts give first priority to the safety of the child in custody arrangements. If one parent is considered to be potentially harmful to the child (such as having a history of criminal behaviour, violence or drug abuse) then full custody can be given to the other parent alone.

I did not know the child was alive for some time. The mother appears to have given up custody to her sister. I cannot get any information from CSEA and the sister will not correspond with me. I want my child and would like to have him with me since he is not with his mother. what can I do?

Yes, but it should be on both of you. As for you, go for custody.
