my ex boyfriend could be the father of his ex’s child she slept with a lot of people and now had given custody to her parents . Can My boyfriend still go threw social services to find out if she is his daughter without her mother having custody of her ?

Social svcs doesnt do anything like that. DNA tests are done through very expensive, private companies, that you hire with your own money. And even then, no one has to submit to it, unless they are ordered to do so by the courts. To even get to the courts, you must hire an attorney. A private attorney that you hire, will also be very expensive.

Why he wants to find out if it’s his child, Idk. Because that is going to be an expense on HIM if the child is his. And if he is your bf now, that means this child is going to affect YOUR finances too, if you live with him. If the child is well taken care of by her parents, I’d leave it be and wait til the child is 18 to go ahead and have reunions to get the "i’m your father" conversations out of the way… Good luck. Also, "threw" is like a ball you throw. "through" means like going THROUGH a process, like the courts, etc.

If the mother loses custody to the father and has no reasons for the courts not to give her custody back when shall she retain the custody back of the children?

More than likely they will drug test the mother, and if you do pass the test and get the kids back you must stay clean bucause they may or may not tell you about random drug test.But as long as you can show that they will have a steady place to stay with you and that you can provide for them you should have no problems.

I have a neice who has never cared for this baby. I have had her and my family and I have been caring for her since she was 2 weeks old with out any help from her mother. The mother is 17 years old and it is rumored that she is on drugs and in an abusive relationship with a 23 year old man who is NOT the father of our beloved baby. What options do I have to gain full custody of this baby? Can anyone give any advise? Thank you.

well first step is to go to court and get temporary custody. it is not hard you just apply and i’m sure the mother wont show up to court. you will be granted guardianship. you need to document all of her behavior. even pictures of her on facebook drinking. things like that can help you in court. the most important thing is to keep the baby safe. if you don’t have a lot of money you can apply to the court for free paperwork too. they do charge for some documents to be handled. good luck. keep that baby safe.

I was just watching TV and the question popped in my head. Suppose a woman and man have children together then divorce or split up. Years later they both have partial custody over the kids but the father has remarried, but passes away. Is there any possibility, legally, the step-mom can continue the partial custody even though the children are in a safe environment with their biological mother?

Legally difficult. She would need to convince a judge to do this; crazier things have happened, but this is unlikely to happen.

However the federal government is more concerned about money ($3 Billion or more spend collecting child support) than enforcing visitation ($10 Million). So the step mother could just take the kids and unless the birth mother had money for private detectives and lawyers there would be little she could do.

Of course the other answer which pointed out you should cooperate and be reasonable is how it should be. My answer is purely legalistic and cynical.

Ok I am asking this question for a friend. The mother and father are still legally married but the father is in jail. The mother has a live in b/f and another child now. She has abandoned the daughter of the child and is planning on giving custody away to her estranged husbands parents whom are not fit to be raising the child. Can the father do anything? They are still married and he is due to get out of jail in about a year.

The mother can’t "give" legal custody of the child to anyone, anywhere, without a court hearing. If they are unfit parents the court would likely put the child in a foster home and then up for adoption. The father can object to any of this. In many states he might have lost his civil rights because of his incarceration but his parental rights can only be removed by a court.

Heres the situation..my cousins children were with there grandmother so she called their father to take them and to kick her out of the house she was staying at. The dad has taken the children to a trailer filled with 14 people and he’s said that my cousin will never see the kids again. She’s not a bad person and he’s only showed interest in the kids since they broke up recently. He’s also been known to drink and drive with the youngest child. What can she do?

Unless/until a court says otherwise, both parents have equal rights to the child(ren). She needs to hire a divorce attorney.

The mother in a custody battle sometimes associates with some less than reputable people. The person in question works in a marijuana dispensary and may or may not be in a gang. She texts him often and visits him sometimes. Could this negatively affect her case during trial? Is it common for opposing counsel to subpoena text records, etc?

It depends on the judge. If I was opposing counsel, believe me I would be using any piece of evidence I could get my hands on, so it could potentially come into play.

If a mother is not getting any support from the father can she take him to court to make him get visitation rights or joint custody to make him do his part or does the father have to do that on his own?

She can file for child support but she cannot force him to visit.~

The mother of my child wont’s to give away her percent of custody to her mother, with out my consent. I active in the child life and have her about 50 percent of the time. Is this possible?

Only if you don’t contest it.

Typically, you would gain full physical custody of the child and the grandmother could get visitation.

Custody can’t be "given" away, traded, or signed away. Only a judges order can alter a pre-existing custody arrangement.

My sister’s husband has been cheating on her and I got an email from the slut that he cheated with. Long story short, she was telling me that he went to a lawyer and the lawyer said that he would get full custody of their kids because she is going to school and has a job. I don’t think this is right and I always thought that the courts favored the mother unless there was reason to believe that she is a bad parent.

Courts do favor mothers. Becuase they were married the kids visitation may be divided and both parents may get joint custody. There is nothing wrong with her working and going to school. As long as she can prove that she can provide their needs he cant take the custody.
