Can I leave the US with my son to move overseas without dad's consent?

Answered 12 years and a month ago by Helene Ellenbogen (Unclaimed Profile)   |   2 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Child Custody
No you can not leave with the child. You need to file a petition for establishment of parenting plan and have time with the child allocated between the parents. If you want to leave the country you ask to be allowed to relocate with the child. If the two of you agree, great. If not, the court will decide where the child lives.... Read More

Can I get back custody of my children from grandmother who wants me to have custody?

Answered 12 years and a month ago by Gerard A. Fierro (Unclaimed Profile)   |   2 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Child Custody

Can I have custody of my baby boy?

Answered 12 years and a month ago by Mark T. Peters, Sr. (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Child Custody
I don't understand your question. However, if you are saying that the dad wants visitation with his child, yes, he is entitled to that. Allowances must be made for a baby versus a toddler versus a school-age child, but dad is still entitled to have time with his child. You will have to deal with this until the boy is at least 18....

Do I have to notify me ex-spouse via registered mail when I move?

Answered 12 years and a month ago by Ms. Jessica M Cotter (Unclaimed Profile)   |   4 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Child Custody
In Arizona there is a specific statute about what steps you must take if you wish to relocate more than 100 miles from the present address. Here is a link to the statute: http://www.azleg.state.az.us/FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/ars/25/00408.htm&Title=25&DocType=ARS You should be aware that this statute may be changed by the legislature. If you are only moving a short distance I would suggest that you send the notice about changing your address both by registered and by regular mail. State on the letter that you sent it by both methods. If the registered letter comes back unclaimed, but the regular letter does not get returned, then that is evidence of receipt.... Read More

If I am a non-custodial father, will I still pay child support if I relinquished my rights to my son?

Answered 12 years and a month ago by Ms. Jessica M Cotter (Unclaimed Profile)   |   5 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Child Custody
In Arizona, at least, the termination of the rights of a biological parent does not end the obligation to pay support for that child. The obligation only ends when there is an adoption of the child, presumably by a step-parent.

Am I able to refuse him the one month free of support without him claiming our son on his taxes?

What are the possibilities that a relative can get custody of a minor child?

Answered 12 years and a month ago by Mrs. Andrea Winters Morelos (Unclaimed Profile)   |   5 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Child Custody
The standard in NC is the "best interests of the child". Parents are given an initial presumption that they are fit and the preferred custodian, so you would have to overcome that burden by presenting at trial all the facts, evidence, testimony, exhibits, legal arguments, etc. (with or without a lawyer, but obviously with a lawyer is always best) and the judge would decide in his/her best discretion....

How does one go about restricting contact between teenage children?

Answered 12 years and a month ago by attorney Vanessa J. Gorden   |   3 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Child Custody
File for a protection order on behalf of your child and against the adults who are participating in this. Use the harassment (not domestic) forms. It may be a long shot, but it would be the only way to legally enforce keeping your daughter away from people who are subverting your rules.

If this is a Canadian case, I can't help you. However, generally if there is a court order for guardianship, you have to go to that court to get the order changed. If you do anything in violation of that order, you could find yourself going to jail. Find an attorney where the order is in effect and find out what you can do.... Read More
