Full custody is defined as one parent of a child having sole control over a minor child with the other having no custodial rights.
Primary custody means that both parents share custody (also known as joint custody) but the primary custodian is the parent that the child spends most fo their time with/lives with on a regular basis. In other words, the parent that is not the primary custodian is the one that has the visitation rights.
Yes, until/unless the courts grant primary legal custody and terminate support.
Get a good lawyer and find something you can use against your ex.
The father can get custody, he has to qualify like anyone else. The child is under the jurisdiction of the Indian Child Welfare Act. It depends on lot factors. this just tip of iceberg. what is wrong you? if your able you can care for the child. if you an unfit mother, yes they can award cusody to the father. as long as you stay on the reservation they can't take your child. as soon as you leave reservation they will take your child by force. this is also true for products you buy.
the greatgrandmother is the temp custody holder and was awarded this in Oct of 2005. Due to a bench warrant for a custody case that I started in Aug 2005, that on the date the court met for the hearing of the case was the day that H Katrina hit NO and sent gusting waves of wind to the East which was blowing the roof off of the court house and court was postponed to the next day. In the time from where I entered the court room and left it, I had court rulled visitation with my son (4 mths) over night, because his father ran off with him for 3 weeks and that was the first time I had seen him since he took off w/ our son, and my lawyer told my mother and I to leave, so we did. And when I came back to the father, I had a bench warrant in the state of MS and my son's Ggrandmother was awarded Temp Custody. So my really, really important Q is... If the order was made in Oct 2005, is it expired? Please, please, respond soon, it's really important for me to know. Thank you, Misty
will my sister Michelle have this afull situation fade into inocence flames will it be over and her freedom and justice be served.
Not very often, and the decision would either have to be especially egregious or the be being appealed on a point of law that the first judge failed to address. REALITY CHECK: The Appeals Court does not automatically review all cases presented to it. They would have agree to review it and if there was no special significance to the case other than the fact that she didn't like the first judge's decision it is doubtful they would accept it for review.
Yes, as single fathers have no assumed rights. However, this does not preclude the filing of an injunction to stop the move, or to order the return of the child pending a full court hearing.
Some people are just different and going through an ugly custody battle can really wear a parent down. No one seems to think of the children these days and children simply see mom and dad as getting a divorce and that's all they care about. To have you around at this time would probably make the children feel he is ditching their mother and loving you more and you can bet those children will more than likely not make it easy on you. Because he is going through a custody battle, it's apparent he does feel love for you, but all he is asking for is some time to get things straightened out. This is between his ex and his children are his first priority which is a good trait in a man. Phone him the odd time and keep in touch, but give him that space he needs. If he feels he needs your advice or just needs to be near you he'll call. Take it slow and easy. You aren't out of the picture yet. Good luck Marcy I have done the exact opposite to Marcy's advice. Time will tell who is right in each situation. However, mine was a bit different. First, school was more important. Then his mother was more important. Eventually, I decided that no one or thing should be more important than me/us. If he doesn't want to share his troubles with you, keep on moving because it won't get better. He thinks of you as a distraction that does not help him to concentrate on what's really important in his life. In fact, showing the court that he is in a committed relationship with a nice woman could only help his cause. I'm assuming that as a committed lover you want to be there for the good and the bad times. As Marcy says, sometimes a person needs space and the wishes should be respected. However, don't put your life on hold for someone else's dreams, aspirations, problems, etc.
