Having full legal or physical custody. If it is full legal custody the mother has given up any legal claim to the child. If it is full physical custody with joint legal custody the child will be in the legal custody parents home. She may elect to give the child up to be adopted by the stepmother. In many states (and maybe in all states) if the custodial parent dies, then the non-custodial parent gains custody, provided that that his/her parental rights have not been terminated (and just because he/she did not have legal custody does not mean that his/her parental rights were terminated). Of course, in that event the stepparent can still petition the court for custody. Check with a local attorney.
Tell him to go ahead and try.
Brandy and her Ex husband share custody of their daughter and are on good terms.
The rights your ex-husband will have once you divorce will all depend on what the judge rules. He could have joint custody or split custody.
Yes, when the father's parental rights are terminated.
No, unless the baby's biological father relenquishes his parental rights, he would get custody of the child if the mother dies, not her husband. The biological father must sign his rights away to the mother's husband.
Petition the court with jurisdiction over the case for custody modification. Your success will depend on many factors, not the least of which will be the court's opinion of whether or not it would be in the children's best interests to reside with you. If your parental rights were terminated, it's going to be tougher. You really need the services of an attorney specializing in family law to get an informed opinion of your chances.
You can ask him but you can't force him to. In general, parental rights are terminated either preparatory to an adoption, or after a trial in which it is determined that the parent is unfit. In any case, termination of parental rights does not, in itself, terminate child support.
Yes, but this will require that your parental rights are terminated, either with your consent or without (following a finding that you are an unfit parent).
Take him to court and ask for sole custody, make sure you have documentation that he is not assisting in your daughter's needs.
Yes, I believe he played the role of Christine Lahti's ex-husband on Chicago Hope, and they had several custody disputes over their daughter.
