Sounds like you have joint custody. There is no reason you shouldn't be able to take your son with you, but it's important you discuss this with his father and leave the phone # of where you will be at. Otherwise, there could be legal complications or your ex could consider the fact you kidnapped your son when it really isn't true. Do it the right way, and get the approval of your ex. If you have your son for visitation rights I don't see a problem. Good luck Marcy
The mother can still have sole legal and physical custody when the father is awarded visitations. Custody and visitations are separate matters. The mother would be required to obey the visitation schedule.
Being denied visitation or not, a father can petition for sole custody. The two situations are not related.
Yes, the father have to go to court to get visitation or custody.
She needs to review the court order that established the visitations. The order should state the legal custody arrangement along with the visitation schedule. For example it could state, "The mother shall have sole legal custody and the father shall have the right to visitations with the child every other weekend and alternating holidays."
How does he have any visitation rights with a custody and child support order?
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.
If you are not married and there is no custody or visitation order, she has custody automatically. The father have to prove paternity in court by a DNA test and then petition for custody or visitation. He can then also pay child support.
yes biological fathers may seek visitation and custody rights
You have the visitation rights that were established in the divorce, and you have no custody rights.
YES, if the summer visitation is written in the divorce decree.
Yes. However, if the visitation is no longer practical, one of the parents may need to file for a modification of custody or visitation.
Yes you can. The legal guardian decides.
