The judge should not have a problem with the child's best interest.
The father would need to file a petition for primary custody before the child could legally change residents.
However, in most situations the court does not interfere in living arrangements between joint custodial parents unless one parent files an objection with authorities.
A secondary issue would be if a child support order is in place.If that is the case the court would need to be involved to prevent the obligated parent from being in contempt of a court order if he or she ceased to pay support because the minor child is living with them.
No, not if your mother has sole physical custody. If there is a joint custody arrangement, you'd still need the cooperation of both parents to make it happen.
No, they don't. They need stable, attentive decent parents. Gender is not a factor. Especially since, statistically, Mothers are more prone to abuse their children than fathers are.
You have full and primary rights to your children. Grandparents do not have custody rights to children over parents.
Widowed mothers and fathers can escort their children alone.
This would depend on the Will. If not addressed, were the parents married? If not, the paternal grandparents have not claim as unmarried fathers have no assumed rights. Otherwise, if the parents were married, and no Will exist, than it would be a matter for the Probate court.
* If the father has full custody of the children, yes. * If he has partial or shared custody with the mother, it may be a violation of parental rights; that area is quite dicey, so talk to a lawyer. * If the father has no custody but does have visiting rights, then again, talk to your lawyer. * If the father has no rights to the children, then there is no crime committed.
It is not an either-or. BOTH parents have distinct roles.
They learned it from their parents. Boys from fathers. Girls from Mothers. You can find more info at www.bigorrin.org/iroquois_kids.htm

There are many misconceptions concerning child custody and fathers. Custody of a dependent child is an issue when parents separate or a child is born to a couple who is already separated. In the past, the common trend was for mothers to stay home and care for the children while the father worked. Divorce rates were lower and fathers who faced the issue could be sure they would not receive custody. During the past several decades, women have begun to enter the workplace in larger numbers and many fathers find themselves taking care of children also. Courts have adjusted their rulings to allow for these situations. Although common belief is that fathers do not have a chance of getting custody, even if they are the more suitable parent, they do have a good chance in today’s legal system. If a father is able to prove that the living condition he can offer the children is better, he will often be awarded custody. Children who are old enough to decide who they want to live with will usually be able to choose; more children are choosing to live with their fathers in several cases. Initial custody hearings generally do end with the mother gaining custody in most states. This ruling may be appealed and will require the help of a father’s rights attorney. Fathers should never believe that their case is hopeless; a father who is concerned about the well-being of their child should pursue custody. Even if sole custody is not sought, joint custody may also be granted. Some judges give an unfavorable ruling against a father initially. Appealing for joint custody instead of visitation will usually result in a positive change in the father’s favor. Courts look more favorably upon fathers who have an active interest in their children’s lives and show a desire to be a part of them. The worst possible thing a father wanting custody could do is to simply give up. With the help of a good father’s rights attorney and investment of time and effort, fathers may earn more custody or win sole custody of their children. In the eyes of the law, children who are not dependent upon their mothers, such as a breast-feeding infant, are eligible to fall in the custody of either parent. Legal proceedings and decisions must be fair and unbiased, meaning several court appearances may be necessary to win.
If a custody order is in place, the mother will need to file a motion to modify custody. You can express your opinion to the judge on your choice, but it will only be a part of the total evidence. If it appears you are simply playing the parents against each other, it will come out. see links
