You can make any temporary arrangement you wish but it won't be official or legal without going through the court to set up a legal guardianship. Your child would simply be staying with someone they would not have "temporary custody" in any legal sense.
The person your child is with may have difficulty in an emergency if the child needs medical care. You should consider executing a Child Medical Consent form which allows a specified temporary caregiver, such as during a vacation or long visit, to access medical care for the child without delay, especially during emergencies.

No, custody is court ordered and it can only be modified in court.
You have to go to court and petition for custody. Unless her parents are unfit you will not get custody though.
No. The NCP must return to court to get legal custody and terminate the support order.
If the original decree gave full custody to the father, then only the father can relinquish said custody. You will need to hire an attorney to figure out the legal implications required to take on such a task. But is it possible to give away custody of her without going to court? All my mom did was sign papers and send them to my dad who has not even filed them.
Custody disputes are always an issue that has to be decided by the court. There are certain aspects of custody agreements that are mediated by social service representatives and legal counsels. However the final decision is always made by a Family/Domestic court judge.
Yes, but the other parent can file an injunction ordering the return of the child, so it would be better to get court approval. see links
The court would have to award you custody.
18: age of majority 17: can apply to courts for emancipation 16: can apply to courts for emancipation if financially independent
Yes, a mother can fight for custody. Unfortunately, the courts are going to tell you no, if you can't prove the change in custody is beneficial to the child's well being.There were reasons why the father was granted custody in the first place. Generally, there must be a change in circumstances in order to take the case back to court. If nothing has changed there is no reason for the court to spend time going over the same case again. Perhaps the mother can prove to the court that the factors leading the court to award custody to the father have been addressed. Perhaps the child is better off with the father. The mother needs to convince the court that a change in custody is in the best interest of the child and not the mother's interest.
If this is court ordered.
You are going to have to file a custody petition through Family Court or Domestic Court or Juvenile Court or whatever it's called down there. Be ready for a pretty extensive and intensive background investigation.
Asbsolutely ! It depends on the circumstances of the parents. The court will decide which parent is in the best position to provide on-going care for a child. They will, however, usually order 'visitation rights' to the parent not granted custody. The custodial parent has no right to defy the court order without authority from the judge. So, for example, say the father was awarded custody, and the court ordered that the child is stay with the mother every second weekend... The father couldn't refuse the child staying wiht the mother for the time granted without going back to court.
