A lawyer would be the best adviser as different states\nhave different laws.

Not necessarily. For 12 years I was the custodian of my son, however did not have legal custody until I went to court to get it. This of course was in Alaska and in Alaska you do not have legal custody of your children unless it is awarded to you in a court of law. Each state is different. But without a custody order, no parent has legal custody and each parent has a right to equal access to the child.

I don't believe the child has the say so on who he wants to live with.  At the age of 14, the judge will take his opinion into consideration but will ultimately rule on what is in the childs best interest after hearing testimony of all who are involved with your case.

the only way is to be emancipated but you need an attorney and by the time the case is up you will probably be 18 anyway.  Unless you are being abused physically or sexually your problems probably aren't that bad.  You will be fine.

Only the court can issue orders to garnish wages. It's called Writ of Garnishment.\nOnce you go to court and win the judgment and your daughter doesn't pay, the court can issue the garnishment.\n\nAlthough, it would definitely put more stress on an already troubled relationship.  You just have to decide what is right.

I don't know how it works legaly but I would think that a thirteen your old is old enough to decide for himself.

in most states the law is age.13.  but the child has to have a person that is of good standing with the courts ?

Check with local/state laws.\nSome places have a minimum age under which a child cannot go door to door without parent supervision.

sounds to me like it wouldnt be very 'easy' for her to gain custody of the 13 yr old. she has a lot of things going against her like lying to the courts in the past about how many kids she has, how some dont even live with her besides this boy, etc. but its hard to say. i just hope that the boy is happy and loved where he is now and wont become a pawn

YES your daughter can depending on your state and her age  either you need to get a lawyer or a child's advocate, your daughter   "Motion  The Court" for what is an "Emancipation" against her father with what your telling me it should be granted, this is what children do, it is another way of being set free from there parents or a parent, go on the Internet and check it out, GOOD LUCK also most people don't need lawyers to do this but you may need one, I am also telling you it would be best that you allow you daughter to do this on her own of course go with her but as far as you going in to the lawyer or court room no the reason are this it is up to her and her choice that way no one will say you made her do this even thought they will anyways, Hallmark made a movie called "into the night about just this" try to get or contact me email and I will help you get the movie very helpful

Need to give more info on the question.  I will try to answer, if she is moving with children, I don't believe that she will have to get another court order, I think the present court order will stand up in that state.  To be for sure, you will have to seek legal counsel.

It's called "emancipation."  And the court has to order it.  You have to get a lawyer and prove that you can take care of yourself, and that your parents are not doing their job as parents.  It's not easy to do.

Not sure what you mean about being involved in the court system. But once you are 18 you don't have to live with your parents that much I do know. In alot of places you can be emancipated before the age of 18, talk to your social worker. IF you can prove that you are responsible that should be an easy option... Good Luck

Tell the Judge.  They are supposed to rule in the best interests of the child's welfare.\n\nI assume your Dad is a good guy and can handle a daughter?\n\nYou aren't just going where you think the rules will be easier, are you?

You have about a 50/50 chance.It all depends on the judge.If your daughter wants to live with her mother,sad to say she will probably get custody.Check out the group Fathers Rights and they can help you in that process,Good luck and God Bless,will say some prayers for you.

You can get a free court appointed lawyer, but there's usually a waiting list. It doesn't matter how much money she makes or who the child is living with, she's still your daughter and you still have to pay a certain percentage of your income no matter what. If the amount is more than the percentage required by your state, then you should fight this.

Each court will be different,\n\nAre you sure they will try it in juvenile court ?  In our area, they most likely would try it in adult court.\n\nBut I would say that since the parents would not be supporting you, you would be sent to juv detention till you are 18 to 21 \nThat is about the max they can do.
