#1, you'd better have significant evidence that the child is being abused, physical, doctors, teachers, caregivers, etc., that are willing to come forward to t estify at the motions hearing, #2, file a petition for modification of custody and motion for emergency custody. #3, if you have not direct evidence and the child is young, he cannot testify or if the other parent's attorney has any salt, he'll object to any testimony of the child. #4, if you loose, try to get your child into counseling right away and work through the issues with the other parent. #5 lots and lots of $$$$. However, if there is clear and convincing abuse going on and you have proof, you can request help through your local child protective agency. If it turns out that the child is being abused, you will be awarded temporary custody, pending the investigation. Your own background, friends, associates, significant others will come into question so make sure you have your ducks in a row.
Yes, if the father is the custodial parent. It works just the same as when the mother is the custodial parent. The non-custodial pay child support based on their income and other factors.
no, that's custodial interference
They draw imaginary vacations
if she is non-custodial, she can move anywhere she chooses
I assume you're the mother and had another child? This is a growing problem as the rates of custodial fathers increase.

Custody of her kids
No, child support is only owed to the custodial parent/guardian. If the grandmother has become the custodial guardian, child support will be owed to her, instead of the mother.
In Fresno (CA) a custodial father of five had to repay welfare for money the mother received illegally.
A custodial parent may have to pay child support if his income is significantly higher than that of the non-custodial parent based on the non-custodial parent's "parenting time" percentage.
If the non-custodial mother was responsible for full child support before remarrying, that responsibility will continue until the court says otherwise. The court will consider the financial condition of both the non-custodial mother and of the custodial father in deciding whether to continue to require full child support.
Child support is for the custodial parent.Be warned though that courts have ordered custodial fathers to pay when the mother make considerably less. This is most common in California.
