yes of course it doesn't matter if he was lovely to start with but if he became an axe murderer should he really still have the kids?

Removing a child from a parents custody is not as easy as not being right in someones eyes, They would have to be unable to provide for their welfare, have no home, or be abusive to them. And even then adequite proof will have to be provided such as recommendations from a child welfare professional, psychiatrists evaluations, police reports, doctors statements, and even then you will most likely only be looking at a change in physical custody. Taking away a parents custody completely is very difficult and hardly ever happens except in severe cases of abuse.<br>

Children should not be placed in the custody of a person who is mentally ill and not possessed of good judgment. Mental illness is one of the reasons a parent can be declared unfit for custody of a child.

Can the courts reverse decision of custody?

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.


Can the judge separate a husband and wife if she feels he is a threat to the kids?

A judge cannot force a married couple to stay away from each other if they don't want to. If one party wants the other to stay away, the court has the authority to restrain them with a restraining or protective order in some cases. If the court finds that the children are in danger from one or both parents, they may remove the children from the parents' custody or restrain the dangerous parent from having contact with the children. In the case where a court finds that the husband is abusive to the children, and the wife does not stop it, and the wife wishes to remain with the husband, it is common for the court to remove the children from both parents' custody and place them in state custody because the father is abusing them and the mother is neglecting them by not protecting them from the abusive father.


Can a judge legally grant custody of minor children to the father an illegal immigrant when the mother is a US citizen wants the kids in question and has no history of abuse or drugs?

The judge may grant custody to any individual or agency whom he/she feels in his/her objective opinion would act in the best interests of the child. Sometimes this is the mother, sometimes this is the father and sometimes this is the state. This is exclusively a matter of state law. It has nothing to do with anyone's immigration status.


Can i get full custody of my child even tho im still in a relationship with the father?

Not without approval of the court. If there's clear evidence of this, a restraining order can be requested, but supervised visitation should be maintained. see my profile


How likely is it for a grandmother to receive custody of her grandchild when the grandchild is living with her father and her mother died and she feels like the household is unfit for her?

It depends on how truly unfit the living situation is. If you believe the child's welfare is in danger, you should have your local department of children and families initiate an investigation. There has to be clear evidence that the child is in jeopardy for him or her to get taken out of the home.


How does a child feels at age 7 with joint custody?

Joint Custody "My parents divorced when I was 2 years old. Because I was so young, I cannot remember anything of how the divorce actually felt at the time. But 12 years later, I am quite content with my life and my parents. Unlike many divorced couples with children, neither parent has primary custody of me, but rather, I switch between my parents' houses every other day, spending roughly equal time with my mother and my father." Equal Time - A Teen's Views On Joint Custody Charlotte Juerge Newsweek - Dec 15, 2008 see links


How old do you have to be to choose who has custody over you?

There is not an age at which a minor is allowed to choose where or with whom they wish to live. A judge may speak with an older teen concerning the issue, but the decision will be based upon the what the judge feels is best suited for the optimate well-being of the child or children involved.
