Generally joint custody means both parents have equal rights to decisions concerning the child. However, the actual terms would be in the custody agreement. Therefore, it may be allowable for a parent to take certain actions w/o the consent of the other parent. You might wish to read over the terms of the custody agreement or consult with the attorney who handled the case for more specific information.

A permanent move would likely require court approval unless the non-physical-custody parent consents to the move.

Barring any restrictions in the court order, there's no reason to, but it's best to provide an itinerary to the other parent in case of of an emergency. But, you need to be ready for any monkey business, such as the other parent filing a last minute injunction preventing you from going.

This will depend of if it's for a vacation or permanently and whether or not there is a custody agreement in place.

Both parents have equal rights to their children under the law unless there are extenuating circumstances that have removed the rights of a parent. Moving with a child and taking away any rights from the other parent to have visitation to the child can be considered kidnapping

No they can not. If they take the child across state lines it is kidnapping.

I am pretty sure they can if they have the permission and have custody over some of the child that is shared with the other parent.

The father got custody years ago the children are 9 and 14 and he won't let me see them. How old does the child have to be for visitation in Colorado and can I fight for visitation?

Yes of course you can. Visitation rights or shared custody should be settled when they are babies. There should have been a visitation order entered at the time the father was granted custody. There is no age restriction. Unless you were deemed an unfit parent you have the right to a visitation schedule. You should return to the court that issued the custody order and request a visitation schedule.

How do you get custody if you are a father not married On the birth certificate but your son is out of state on a native American reservation?

If your son is Native American it will be close to impossible to get him away from the reservation due to the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA). If his mother is a fit parent they would not take him away from her. if you move to his state you can get shared custody and visitation. To get your parental rights you have to prove paternity with a DNA test and then you can petition the court for custody, visitation and pay child support. But consult a lawyer on this.


Arkansas laws on primary custodial parent does there have to be a custodial oarent?

Arkansas has no true shared custody, and therefore the judge always indicates which parent has prime custody. Even if the parents agree to shared custody, the non-prime parent is only given the right to the standard visitation unless the parties work out and submit in writing a more lenient visitation schedule. I k now this to be true, because my son and his ex got a divorce and asked for shared custody. The final decree gave his primary custody and her the every-two- weeks, etc., she would have gotten in any case. They shared because he wanted to. My granddaughter thought it would work for her, too, but her ex didn't stick to the plan once he got prime custody and she only sees her son when the papers allow her to.

Can a parent take a child from the legal guardian and get temp custody after no contact with child in 10 years in the state of kansas?

After such long time it would be if the legal guardian is unfit. They would have to see to the child's point of view who has not seen her parent in 10 years and do not know him. Most likely would the parent get visitation and eventually shared custody. Eventually he has the chance for sole custody.


Is there another name for full custody where you have children but other has visitions rights etc im afraid of him messing up again but also a dad should be invovled with their children if it come?

Typically if one parent is primary, and the other parent has visitation rights that is less than 40% of the time, you may have joint custody. In this situation, the children may live 60% or more of the time with one parent, but both parents make decisions regarding health, education, and religion for example. If you have a 60% - 40% up to a 50% - 50% then this is shared custody.


How do you I file for sole custody of your son when you are not married to his father?

Generally, as an unmarried mother you already have sole custody of your child under the law in every state. The father must establish his paternity in court in order to obtain shared custody and visitation rights. Until he does, you have sole legal custody.
