A divorce with the custody of a child involved can get very tricky when one parent lives abroad. It is almost impossible to force the absent parent to pay child support, and if the parent takes the child to some countries it may be impossible for the US parent to get the child back,
When you get a divorce ,if your spouse has moved in with you ,you can ask them to move out and if you have had a child with your ex-spouse your child lives with you or you can have shared custody of the child but if it is a teenager when you and your previous partner get a divorce you will ask them to choose who they will live with and they can either choose you or your ex-spouse or shared custody
The child go to the other parent.
You will get temporary custody only until your spouse contests it in court. I am assuming that the child currently lives with you.
The Canadian female spouse is having an affair and kicked her American spouse out. Their child was born in Canada. The American male spouse wants to keep his daughter in the United States, what are the chances?
Custody is granted based on what is in the best interest of the child and not on financial status. This is the reason that non custodial parent are equally responsible for the financial issues concerning the child's welfare.
The parents have assumed joint custody.
Yes, but child custody can not be finalized.
Yes
Will you have custody or not?
Mother files motion for custody
You can petition to have the courts recognize that your spouse is not the father of the child, and unless he can show that he has been the parent that the child recognizes despite biology, and that he is more fit to care for the child, the court shoud terminate his rights and let you retain custody.
Only NC has jurisdiction, nor should the child be taken away from the other parent.
