Guardianship, not custody
No, this has to be done legally through the court system. Go to a paralegal to fill out forms and get them notarized.
No. If the child's' mother calls the police you could loss custody of your child and possible go to jail. If I was you I would contact a lawyer who specializes in child custody cases. If you can get a notarized letter from the mother saying it is okay and giving you full custody.
No.No.No.No.
I have a legal court order giving me custody of my grandaughter because the parents are unfit, what are my responiblities and do they have any say in the matter and no visitation was ever set/ not does the father pay child support, he refuses to work and doesnt get locked up . can you help me with some answers?
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.
Of course, but it best to do it using a mediator.
Your odds are just as good as anyone else's. There is a new trend of family courts taking children from mothers and giving them to fathers. If you make any kind of alleghation against the father, the courts will say you are trying to alienate the father and give custody to him. If you don't accuse him of anything, they will say that he is a good father and give custody to him. Fathers who actually fight for custody win 80% of the time. Don't believe the hype. If you fight him, you will probably lose.
If there was a previous court order giving the other parent custody, but the children are now living with the non-custodial parent, then yes. You should petition the court to change the custody order to reflect the new living arrangements.
You need a letter from the other parent giving permission. Otherwise you risk having difficulty either leaving or returning.
A mother has sole rights to her children unless/until a court order is issued giving the father custodial rights. If there is not a custody order from the court the unmarried mother may take the child/children and move whenever, wherever she wants.
Custody decisions are never final because they must be governed by the best interests of the children and, as circumstances change, a judge may decide that a new custody order is needed. Changes in parents living circumstances, their health or mental health or new information about the children's circumstances or neesd I agree. The courts CAN do whatever they want. But a lot of it depends on whether you are the father or mother, and how much money you make. Remember, family courts are 100% about money, and NOTHING about the child. If you are the father, and mother has custody, it is unlikely they will ever give you custody, unless she kills the kid, but then it is too late. The main issues for custody decisions are 1) who is the mother and 2) who can pay more child support. If you are father, and you make more money, forget getting custody. The odds are 1/1000000, and it will only happen if the judge truly feels that by giving mother custody, the child will die, and then he will be blamed.
No, it will not! Notarized form may support a contract, but will not be good in this case. The only insitution capable of issuing such on order and honoring it is the Court. Keep in mind, in most of the states, the court will iniate an investigation on why the father is giving up his rights.
