yes
In Texas, if a child is 14 or older, he/she can choose to live with a grandparent as long as permission is given by the custodial parent.
Minor's are not allowed to choose with whom they wish to live, although the judge may speak with the child and take his or her opinions into consideration when making custodial decisions. Likewise, the grandparent who has temporary custody cannot release the minor into the custody of any other person including a parent without first obtaining permission from the court.
No. The father must be informed and given the opportunity to object.
No If by moving the party means a move within the jurisdiction of the court that mandated the custodial order, then yes, you may relocate. If the question refers to relocating outside of said jurisdiction, the primary custodial will need the written notarized permission of the non primary custodial parent and/or permission from the court.
no not automatically. A grandparent is more likely to get custody.
Not unless the grandparent is the legal guardian. You need parent's permission to take their children ANYWHERE.
I think it depends on how long the mother will be incarcerated for. There might be a hearing giving the father temporary custody. But if the father ever tries to get full physical custody of the child in the future, it might not be good for the mother. However, she can never be refused visitation.
Not custody rights but you can have a chance to visitation. Speak to your lawyer.
not automatically, it requires a hearing.
A showing before the court of a need for custody due to a child in need of care.
file a child in need of care motion.
Yes the court can allow that.
