Answered your own question
If you mean you were awarded custody by the courts, yet the other parent won't turn your son over to you, yes, you can get custody. The non-custodial parent can be charged with contempt of court, among other things.
If you have proof that you were given custodial rights (the court order, signed by the judge), you can have your local law enforcement office escort you to the non-custodial parent's home and they will remove the child from there, and return him to you.
Unless visitation rights for the non-custodial parent were allowed in the divorce paperwork, the custodial parent is completely within their rights to deny the non-custodial parent visitation....however, the non-custodial parent may sue for visitation rights.
Only the court has the power to deny visitation rights.
In American legalese, a noncustodial parent is the non-resident parent who has not been granted care of the child(ren).
the custodial parent is the parent the child lives with the non custodial parent is the parent the child does NOT live with the non custodial parent assuming he / she knows he is a parent... is usually the patitioning parent. if he /she chooses not to seek visitation rights the court cannot force him/ her to see the child.... but they can enforce child support. research the laws for your state.
Too complicated to answer simply. See an attorney that does child custody and family law.
No. If you have been determined to be the child's biological father you and the mother will have equal parental rights if you remarry.
Then they should go to court for child abandonment and have his parental rights removed. Until then he can still make you come back.
It really depends on how the parental rights are divided and should be specified in your divorce/support paperwork.
If the court has awarded you visitation rights, then you have those rights legally and they cannot be denied by the custodial parent.
can loose unsupervised visitation rights if the custodial parents mooves for that motion.. assuming there are court sanctioned visitation rights already in place. Research the Laws for your state
Parental rights are paramount to "grandparents rights". In most jurisdictions there are no such rights.
No. The non-custodial parent needs to have the visitation rights enforced by the court if necessary.
