Than a review needs to be made by the courts as to whether continued custody is in the child's best interest.
If she is found to be unfit or addicted to drugs she could lose custody. Additionally, if she refuses to give the father visitation the judge could find her in contempt and change custody to the father.
Not necessarily. It depends on many factors which the judge will take into consideration before making a custody order.
No, but the father can get the custody if he proves that the mother has bad habits like alcoholic or consume drugs.
He can not petition for custody or anything if he is here illegally. The situation would mean he could get kicked out at any time. That would not be a safe situation for a child to be in.
I think the child can be taken away from the home, and be put into child protective custody. They will say that the drugs are putting the baby in danger.
If there is joint custody of the child then the father should be told by the mother where she is going with the child and for how long. If the mother wants to live in another State the courts will have to decide visitation rights. Example: The father has may have the child one or two weeks during the summer; possibly Christmas or alternative Christmas', etc. If the father does not have joint custody then the mother can leave with the child to another State without his permission, but to be fair to the child the father should be informed unless the father has a criminal record; drugs, etc., and is an unfit father.
The custody would be split, generally, between the parents. Usually the child's major home would be with the mother with adequate time with the father. However, if the father is exceptionally bad, such as a known convict, spent jail time, known to not hold down a job, drugs, etc, there would be less custody for him. Same with the mother, and if she is any of those things, the father would have the majority of the custody. If the two parents can not compromise on custody issues, then it is advisable they seek a court ruling.
Depends on whether there's a father in the house.
Only after approval of an Emergency Petition for Custody for a Child In Need of Care.
Maybe, see links below.
If you are a father. You must prove the mother unfit, drugs, abuse, prison record, etc... IF you are a mother, depending on the state you live in they would allow soul custody because you are the mother. If the father is unfit and you live in Utah and/or California where they are for the father as well and want to do joint custody in most of those two states, the father must pretty much be unfit such as abuse, drugs and/or prison record for the mother to get full custody. That is pretty much when the only time I have known any parent to get full custody of their children.
