what is the minimum square footage required to obtain custody?

absolutely not.  Custody is determined by whomever can take the best, most proper care of a child, and the child's best interest.  Someone living in a mansion who is dealing drugs could lose custody to someone living in an efficiency apartment.  He will need to prove that his daughter is currently in an unsafe enviornment and that he can provide a better one.  Not always easy to do, as the courts generally favor the birth mother.

You must be a resident of the place where you get divorced.  Then you are bound by the laws of that jurisdiction, for the divorce and for any subsequent orders child support etc.

You need to get to the courthouse and establish custody!  You need to get full custody, and get court ordered child support.  GET IN THERE ASAP!  Put it on paper!

Both.  If you have an uncontested divorce with little property and no child custody, it will probably be relatively easy.\n\nIf you have a knock down drag out divorce over contested custody and property division it will be very difficult.

It depends, first, on what the judge's order says, if anything, about it. Then it depends on state law, and you don't say what state.\n\nIn general, if the mother has to move out of state to get or keep a job or to be near persons she needs for support, she would be granted permission, but she should ask for it.\n\nArrangements for continued visitations would be a crucial part of any proceeding.

Hi,\nI'm not an attorney, and this is not legal advice, but here is what I’ve heard:\n\nThe appropriate body of law is the \nThe Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Enforcement Act.\n\nIt says that the state of jurisdiction is:\n\nThe child's home state. \n(where he has lived for the last 6 consecutive months)\n\nIf jurisdiction there is in the child's best interest.\n\nAnd the child is physically present in that state.\n\nThere is no jurisdiction if the child was kidnapped, or brought to that state unlawfully.\n\n\n\nIt's a little more complicated than this though.  \nHere is the applicable section:\n\nSECTION 201. INITIAL CHILD-CUSTODY JURISDICTION.\n\n(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 204, a court of this State has jurisdiction to make an initial child-custody determination only if:\n\n(1) this State is the home State of the child on the date of the commencement of the proceeding, or was the home State of the child within six months before the commencement of the proceeding and the child is absent from this State but a parent or person acting as a parent continues to live in this State;\n\n(2) a court of another State does not have jurisdiction under paragraph (1), or a court of the home State of the child has declined to exercise jurisdiction on the ground that this State is the more appropriate forum under Section 207 or 208, and:\n\n(A) the child and the child's parents, or the child and at least one parent or a person acting as a parent have a significant connection with this State other than mere physical presence; and\n\n(B) substantial evidence is available in this State concerning the child's care, protection, training, and personal relationships;\n\n(3) all courts having jurisdiction under paragraph (1) or (2) have declined to exercise jurisdiction on the ground that a court of this State is the more appropriate forum to determine the custody of the child under Section 207 or 208; or\n\n(4) no State would have jurisdiction under paragraph (1), (2), or (3).\n\n(b) Subsection (a) is the exclusive jurisdictional basis for making a child- custody determination by a court of this State.\n\n(c) Physical presence of, or personal jurisdiction over, a party or a child is neither necessary nor sufficient to make a child-custody determination.\n\n\nI think you should discuss this with a qualified family lawyer.\nDo not act on the advice of an anonymous poster!\nGood luck. I hope this is helpful.

All temporary custody hearings are held in court, generally family court. It would be simplest to retain a lawyer to get the custody papers for you.

Unfortunately, while not fair, the law usually favors the tenant. Has your daughter offered her anything to move? That might be the only way. Or court?? Good luck to you both.

GO TO FAMILY COURT FIRST. REQUEST THE DNA TEST. IF IT'S NOT YOUR KID THEN NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. IF IT IS START CUSTODY PROCEEDINGS. GET AN INJUNCTION FROM THE COURT BARRING HER FROM LEAVING THE COUNTY WITH THE CHILD WITH OUT YOUR PERMISSION. IT WILL BE AN UPHILL FIGHT BUT IF YOU CAN PROVE THAT SHE IS UNSTABLE AND IS IN NO WAY CAPABLE OF CARING FOR THE CHILD YOU MIGHT HAVE A SHOT. A LITTLE ADVICE ONCE A CHICK CUTS OUT TO ANOTHER STATE DON'T TAKE HER BACK. DOCUMENT ALL OF HER CRAZINESS.  GOOD LUCK.\n\nYOU CAN STOP HER FROM LEAVING BUT YOU HAVE TO PROVE THAT IT'S YOUR CHILD AND THAT THE CHILD WILL BE BETTER OFF WITH YOU IN IT'S LIFE.\nI DID IT TO MY EX WIFE. SHE WANTED TO MOVE TO SOUTH CAROLINA AND A JUDGE IN NYC BARED HER FROM MOVING WITH MY KIDS. SHE WAS TOLD THAT SHE COULD MOVE BUT THAT THE CHILDREN WOULD HAVE TO STAY IN NYC. NEEDLESS TO SAY WE STILL DON'T TALK TO EACH OTHER. (7YEARS) AND I KICK UP 1K PER MONTH IN CHILD SUPPORT. BUT MY KIDS ARE WITH ME EVERY WEEKEND AND 1 MONTH IN THE SUMMER.

The 100-Mile Rule \nWhen a parent is planning on moving from one part of the state to another part of the state, or from Michigan to another state, the new 100-mile rule applies. The State has recently enacted MCLA 722.31 as part of the Child Custody Act of 1970. The 100-mile rule only applies when the legal residence of a child is covered by a court order. This means that the rule only applies when the parents have joint legal custody of the child. Joint legal custody means that the child is deemed to have 2 legal residences, one with each parent. The 100-Mile rule puts more emphasis and concern on the child's well-being than the previous tests. \n\nA parent is restricted from changing her or his legal residence when a parent of a child whose custody is covered by court order wants to move his or her legal residence more than 100-miles from the legal residence of either party that existed at the commencement of the action which the custody order was issued. Legal residence is defined as the primary residence of the parent at the time the action was commenced. If both parents were residing in the same household at the time the action was commenced, that residence is the initial legal residence for both parties. But if a parent is determined to have no legal residence at the commencement of the action, then the only legal residence of the other parent shall be considered in applying this statute. For example, if the parents resided 40-miles apart at the commencement of the action, neither party could move more than 60-miles away from one of the legal residences that existed at the time of the action. \n\nWhen a parent is contemplating a move, the term 100-miles is interpreted as road travel. Also the shortest possible land route should be considered. For example, a proposed move from Petoskey to Escanaba would require approval, as even though the actual distance is less than 100 miles, the road mileage is substantially more than 100 miles. \n\nThe Michigan 100-mile rule does not apply in certain situations. (1) if sole legal custody is granted to one parent alone; (2) if at the time of the commencement of the action in which the custody order is issued, the two residences were more than 100- miles apart; (3) if the legal residence change results in the child's two legal residences being closer than before the change. \nIf none of the above situations apply, a parent can change his or her residence if the other parent consents to the change which means in writing signed by both parties, or if permitted by court order. But if the 100-mile rule does apply, the court will look to several factors to determine whether or not to grant permission to move. \n\nBecause the child is the courts primary concern in deciding the issue under the 100-mile rule, the following factors are considered: \n(1) Whether the parent's move has the capacity to improve the quality of life for both the child and the relocating parent. This does not address the issue of the non-moving parents quality of life. \n(2) The degree to which each parent has complied with and utilized his or her time under ta parenting time order, and whether the move is inspired by a desire to defeat or frustrate parenting time. \n(3) The degree to which the court is satisfied that if the move is permitted it is possible to amend the parenting time schedule in a manner that will preserve and foster the relationship between the child and each parent and the likelihood that each parent will comply with the modified schedule. \n(4) The extent to which the parent opposing the move is motivated by a desire to secure a financial advantage concerning child support. This is to prevent a parent from negotiating a lower support payment in exchange for agreeing to change a residence. \n(5) Whether domestic violence was directed against or witnessed by the child. \n\nA custody or parenting time order should provide either the parents' agreement as to how a change residence will

You need to go back to court and get a judge to change the custody order.  You'll need an attorney.

Primary (or Residential)Custody is when a child's residency is given to one of the parental parties,retaining physical custody of the minor child,while the other parent is given visitation with the child.\nWhere is Sole Custody is determined when both parents can't agree on major decisions concerning the childs well being,and one of the parents are designated as the Sole Custodian.That parent decides the major issues in that child's life.

You definitely need to contact somebody... Try starting with your local DVACK shelter... DVACK is for domestic violence... Tell them that you are scared for yourself and your child and get a protection from abuse order, he won't beable to come near you or the baby, and you can get your court proceedings started from there. you definitely need to talk to your local SRS office and tell them you want to start the custody to make sure you have residential custody, because if you don't, he has every right to that child just like you do.  He will beable to take her and there is nothing you can do to get that child back until you go through court and ask for visitation. That can take months to do, if he gets the child before you start the proceedings,and no child should go months let alone days without seeing their mother. If you hurry and do that, if he does take the baby, they could then issue an Amber Alert and put his butt in jail! Good luck, but act FAST, seriously!!!!!!!
