It is Very difficult to get Sole custody. You have to PROVE that the mother is unfit and is harming your child in some way. Being in jail sounds bad but since she is in jail she can not be doing anything harmful. (In the courts point of view) Fighting this will be tough. You would be better off trying to change visitation. Try to get it that it has to be supervised. \n\nI would go talk to a lawyer. The first consultation is usually free. (and custody battles can be expensive)

Depends on the laws of your state.  I'd try to talk to both and make arrangements for payments.  Bank I don't think can put you in jail, but child support violation could.

your state must not have a scale that is used based on her income and your income. dont go to jail. go to court. have the younger son talk to the judge alone in chambers. it can make all the difference. your attorney can set it up with out her knowing until the last minute. fight for your kids. hope your older son gets better soon.

Ask both the parents to sign the child over to you.  Then, there will be nothing further that the state can do to take the child away or change the situation.  If the mother is in jail and the father can't support the child, I can't imagine that they wouldn't let the child be with you.

yes court would be the only option most likely.  you could try talking to the mom, but most likely won't work. personally, I'm the mom and have the opposite.  good luck!

File in your current location or the original court that granted the custody order.  You will have to serve court papers on him/publish in newspaper for the court date.  If he fails to show, you might be granted default judgment that will grant you full custody.

Without any court order, you can take your son anywhere you want.  I have been in the middle of a battle for some time.  I recommend you really evaluate what you want and what is best for your son.  You should consider how he will look back on this situation and on you.\n\nWith a court order a Judge declares the terms of the custody.  Police and social sevices like welfare then act according to the court order.  If there is no order, the police cannot do anything.  You or your ex could take off with your son and the police will not act.  Now, say you take your son and drop the child off at daycare while you are at work.  Your ex can show up and take the child because she is a parent.  This means that if you want to just take your son and withold custody from the mother, you will need to be able to be with the child 24x7 or hide the child so that she cannot find him until you get a court order granting you full custody.\n\nKeep in mind that the courts are very hesitant to keep a child from either parent unless there is compelling proof that the child is in danger.  In most cases, the court will award 80% custody to the mother if the child is young.  I was lucky in that I was able to take my daughter for 50% of the time while this has been going through the courts.  I am awaiting the judges decision, but all indication is that teh judge will not make a change to an agreemnet that the parents have been living by.  If I had fought my ex over the deal, she would have wound up with the 80% custody and I would have been paying out the a** for child support.\n\nIf the woman is a true danger to your child, then by all means do something right away.  But, if you will have a hard time proving in court that she is a danger, you are better off cutting your losses and tryig to handle this in a very accomidating way.

Talk to a social worker and see if you can get custody/guardianship for her. Or seek legal aid. \n\nBut whatever you do, keep it legal and open. No tricks, no running away, nothing like that.

You need to have a job which could support you and the child, and file for the childs custody through the court. \n\nYou will need to prove that you are fit to keep the child and have overcome the problem  because of which they took the child away in  the first place.

If he's in jail right now, you have a good to great chance of getting his rights terminated by a court, but you will have to come up with some money for an attorney.  You COULD do it yourself, but it could get tricky.  Also, if the termination does go through, I DEFINITELY would not let my "fiance" adopt her until you two are married.

Just the fact that she wasn't honest about who the father actually is can help prove that she's unfit.  Tell him to contact an attorney right away and see about getting custody.

I am so sorry for you! I am not experiencing the same, but my daughter has to have visitations with her father. He has threatened to kidnap her, so I'm always worrying about it. Also my child is 4 and has told me that her father touches and hurts her peepee. I've contacted several different agencies, lawyers, docs etc. Nothing is being done! I feel the frustration that you are going thru!The judge actually granted extra time on visits and went to unsupervised visits b/c evidence was inconclusive.I was told that if my ex was to run off with my daughter there was really nothing that I could do, even though I also have full custody. Why? Because he is the child's rightful parent too, and is allowed visitation. HUH??? I swear that is what they told me. But yet if I refuse to give my daughter over to him for his visits I will be arrested for kidnapping! ?????What a world we live in! Give me an email sometime. I'd like to stay in touch with you even if it's just to offer support. I hate to mention it but have you tried all the hosp. in the area that you last knew them to be? How about tracking them down via Yahoo White pages? Do you know of any family or friends that she might take your daughter to. Maybe you could contact them or go see them face-to-face. I don't know your financial sit. but hiring a private investigator might help. Have you posted their pics at police stations? They can fax it to others nationwide. Offer a reward. And above all else don't give up until you know for sure. And PRAY, PRAY, PRAY!!I will pray for you right now! God be with you! The answer about checking with schools is great. When you move to a new school the old school has to contacted and then they send info and should keep this on record. Maybe if she was in a Headstart program or a preschool program like pre-K you might be able to get some info thru them. As her biological father, you have the right to request that info and they cannot deny you it.Amy

i don't know about Texas but if you go to jail they don't charge you in Louisiana. so my suggestion is go to jail and spend a long time there. maybe by the time you get out you will be willing to accept your kid also :-)
