Hopeful, reunification court date is only 2 mo. away, and I have complied with court orders. The judge is very fair so I’ll probably get my child back then. After I do, I live in New Hampshire, when can I move out of state? (I will have legal custody at the point when I want to move but child services will be keeping an eye on me for several months. Can’t they transfer the case at this point)?

What if the father gets custody?
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
we really just dont have the money to get a family court lawyer and my bf has been completly cut out of his son’s life. he pays his child support, his child’s mother was quick to get that filed, but he doesnt even have a contact number to reach her. our state gives absolutly no rights to fathers until they get custody established in the courts, so i was wondering if anyone has ever done it without a lawyer, about their experience and the outcome.

If a couple aren’t married does the mother get full custody of the children?
But, what if the biological father’s name is on the birth certificate?
The man forfeits his parental rights when he has sex with a woman, not his wife. He must hire an attorney to petition the courts to reestablish his rights. She has sole custody and control. It’s a glass ceiling thing, only the men are relegated to the subbasement with no stairs to climb.

I was trying to find laws or information on requirements for a parent who has lost custody of their child.
This is for a paper for my class, if anybody knows of any websites it would be very helpful.
Here’s what I give fathers

Me and my wife are trying to go on vacation out of state for 5 days (Fri-Tues) and the father gets the kid every weekend. We called him and asked him if we can take the kid (3yrs. old) and he said no cause he wants to see him. Which is BS! We have offered him have the baby a few xtra days next week, but still refuses cause he wants to be an a**…Can we still go on vacation, due to the fact my wife still has primary legal and physical custody?!
Legally speaking if it is his parenting time then that is what it is.
Now, speaking as a custodial parent and a non-custodial parent, see my husband has custody of one of his kids and the older one still lives with her mom.
Anyway, I have been on both sides of this and I can tell you that if there is a special occasion, such as a family trip, and it MUST be held on the NCP’s weekend (whish in this case is EVERY weekend) and it was unavoidable then the father should be working with you, not being a jerk. Everything is suppose to be in the best interest of the child, not just by the letter of the court order. have you thought about the option of offering him the entire Fri-Tuesday?
If he wasn’t too keen on that idea I would send him an e-mail or certified letter informing him that the entire family is going away out of state and these are the dates and the place you will be. You will apololgize for having to schedule this over a weekend but there was no other way around it. And offer any 3 days of his choice over the next 3 months that he can have the child to make up the time. I would also include that since you offered the father that time and he was unable to watch the child you had no other option.
Now this is going to royally piss him off. However, the only thing he can do is take you to court for contempt. Local police will not interfere, it is a civil matter, and the child is with the primary custodian. If/when he takes you to court for contempt he will have to spend about $200, even if he represents himself, to file everything and take off work. Then the Judge will see that you did technically not follow the court order, so you will most likely be found guilty of contempt, however given the fact that you warned him, you offered further time with the child, and it was in the child’s best interest to go with you your punishment will be a warning. Do you really think the guy will do all that just to prove he is right?
I would get a modification of the court order so this can not happen in the future. get a line added in that says something like "Due to the NCP having the child every weekend which can be restrictive to the childs vacation time and special occasion time with the CP, the custodial parent will be permitted to have the child for a total of 4 weekends a year. These weekends will be chosen by the custodial parent and a written notice will be given to the NCP no later than 2 weeks before said weekend."
we were not married, but filed the joint custody when our child was born. now we broke up and I moved out with the child. I think of change the joint custody to sole one ? but I don’t know how ? or can I ?
You need to make an application to the courts through a lawyer, because you already have a court order in place, so that one needs to be replaced.
There will be issues if your ex doesn’t want this though, and can indeed contest it, so I suggest if your on speaking terms with him or her, then try talking it through first.
If they aren’t really in the child’s life, then the court will usually uphold this, so you may as well give it a go.

The Black Woman Here, Made This Statement With An Iry Confidence. Technically, She May Be Right — And She Knows It! All Because This Uninformed Brother Signed A Paternity Acknowledgement Affidavit, at the Hosptial. Don’t you young brothers KNOW that you should NEVER sign a voluntary Paternity Affidavit acknowledging fatherhood? Always opt for court hearing with a court-ordered DNA Paternity test. The paternity affidavit is that form the HOSPITAL NURSE tries to get a man TO SIGN when he comes to the hospital to see His ALLEDGED Baby. Hospitals actually GET PAID by the government for EACH FORM they return, completed and signed. This is all the local Child Support Office needs to get you on the hook to pay child support — FOR A BABY THAT MIGHT NOT BE YOURS.
