I think that an immigrant has the right to get custody of his or her child just like an American citizen.As long as they are fit and respondsible parents.
Go to Court.
Most likely the illegal immigrant will be deported to the country he/she came from and the parent will be thrown in jail. The child may have to stay with a family member or foster care until found a good living environment
it depends on the circumstances that the child is living in. it should matter the child's well- being foremost and first.
Maybe, but it would be difficult unless extentuating circumstances exist. Custodial issues are mandated under state laws whereas immigration issues are the jurisdiction of federal authorities. Although being in the US as an illegal immigrant it is not the best situation to be in such a matter, the judge determines whether joint custody, primary custody or sole custody is granted based on the best interest of the child.
Yes
It is possible for a non-US citizen to go to court in a custody case for a child. If one party is an illegal immigrant, they may be subject to deportation.
Yes. Undocumented immigrants already have custody of their own children unless it has been taken away by court order. Their lack of legal immigration status does not take away their parental rights.
No not an illegal immigrant but a legal one can. * If the couple were legally married the immigrant spouse can request spousal maintenance (alimony). Immigration issues are federal matters and have no bearing on domestic issues such as divorce. child custody/support which come under the jurisdiction of state not federal law.
Yes
Child custody lawyers are not illegal, so you've gotten bad information. You need to get in touch with a custody lawyer and have them explain the inner workings of the justice system to you.
An illegal resident can not get custody of your child and not based on that they have the same last name.
No.
