In general, one cannot give one's child to the State. The taxpayers are not interested in raising your child. When the State does take custody of a child, it pursues the parents for support.
Legally you can not force your child to give up the custody. They are the guardian of their child and not you, no matter how old they are.
With regard to child custody, the court must consider what is in the best interest of the child. A felony might hurt a parent's character, but it isn't necessarily a bar to having custody. It just depends on the specifics.
Yes. The legal custody of a minor can only be affected or changed by a court order.
There are lots of factors involved. What does the court order say? If there is back child support owed, it is still to be paid. The child still needs to be supported, in this case the state may take the money and give it to the foster care or new guardian for the benefit of the child.
Do the kids make fun of him for having your maiden name? Did you give him custody of the child? Is he his guardian? If so, then yes.
It depends on the state and how old the child is.
If there are no other family members, and you are no longer able to care for this nephew, the only remaining alternative is for him to become a ward of the state. Contact the child welfare agency in your state.
No court will give you custody of a child you kidnapped and hid for 6 months in another state. At this point it's a question if you will ever be allowed to see the child again.
Yes who ever has the child legally can file for child support. But you have to demonstrate to the court that the child has been residing with you and you have the physical custody and you want to keep the physical custody and give the other parent visitation and joint legal custody. This is the fastest way to get things done and a direct answer lol.
Possibly, depending on where you live. You would need to provide your state of residence as well as outline whether or not your parental rights were terminated when your grandparent obtained custody of your child.
Immediately, ESPECIALLY if she has full custody or the time you plan to spend out of state is part of the time she is supposed to have the child.
You contact the CPS and tell them you want to give up custody and make your child a ward of the state. They will evaluate and see if there's reasons enough to do so.
Yes, harboring a runaway.
It is very rare that a Mother wants to give full custody of a child to the Father. To this all a Mother would have to do is choose to sign and give up her rights to the child in court.
If the child lives with you for six months, you can register jurisdiction in your state, if it's not already there, than file for a change of custody due to long term possession. It's not likely she will be ordered to pay child support, only 7 out of 1000 mothers do. To learn what to do, check Dads House below.
No, because it is considered bribing, and even if you could, I doubt a parent would give up a child for money if they are suing or have custody in the first place. If you want said child, you can sue for custody of the child. If you cannot gain custody, then the next best thing to do is sue for visitation.It's not legal to pay a parent to relinquish custody of a child in any state! But if the parent in question has a child support award, he or she will be free of paying child support or being in any way responsible for the child from that day forward.
First you need custody of him and the only way to get that is by going to court. If the father then have shared custody or visitation rights both he and the court have to then give you permission to move the child out of state. You also, satisfactory to you both, solve the issue about the child being able to see both parents so the visitation or shared custody order is not broken. So unless his father is willing to give up custody and let you take your son out of state you will have to move without him.
