Can a mother terminate custody. She has 100 percent custody. She is paid child support for that child for 365 days of the year. Can she force father to take the child. Child is a drug addict.?

She can't. She might be able to persuade a court to do so. The child support would, of course, cease (and in fact the father might be able to then claim child support from the mother).

What if a father has rights to the children but hes in jail and the mother is a drug addict how can you get custody even though you have a felony?

Regardless of what is said about them Lawyers are very useful people. If you're sure the mother of your child is a drug addict, you can have your lawyer advise OCS of this demanding they put in frequent welfare checks on the children and mother and make recommendations that the child be put into the custody of another (clean and sober) member of the family or even into foster care. An other method is have family check in with the mother and your children frequently (if allowed) with the admonition to call the police at the first and every sign of drug or alcohol abuse. Or to at least talk her into letting the kids "stay the night" when she's on a runner. It's very important to be a friend of this addict so that she'll know it's concern and not vengeance the family is doing this over. Concern for her especially. Emphasize you want your kids away from the dope, not their mother.

No. It depends on a lot of factors. In most situations, the mother gets custody of the child. If the mother is a felon of a drug addict, the child will probably go with the father. Money is rarely taken into consideration unless the mother cannot support the child with her income.
