Either parent can have physical custody in a joint custody arrangement. If there is a court order granting the mother physical custody the father should notify the court of the mother's incarceration and have that order modified unless he wants the mother to resume physical custody when she is released.
In general, the custodial parent claims the child for tax purposes. If the court does not make any orders about the tax deduction, then the custodial parent automatically claims the child as a dependent for tax purposes. The IRS income tax rules say that the parent having custody for the greater portion of the calendar year receives the deduction. If the custody time is equal, parents can switch each year who gets the deduction.
Only after demonstrating a pattern of frequent contact
The step-parent has no direct parental rights. The child's custody arrangements would have to be endorsed by family court.
Non-parent custody is granted only under certain circumstances and through specific procedures. The rules vary by state, generally you must follow specific court procedures and provide clear proof that harm will come to the child if the non-parent custody is not granted. It is best to consult an attorney.
Temporary custody yes, if the other parent, who's moving, has been granted permanent custody but has no place to live at the moment. If you are married and can't agree on custody you have to go to court and let the judge decide.
Whatever rights are granted by the custody order. If the custody order specifies "visitation", then you have to visit. It's not an "if you want to" thing, it's a "have to" thing.
Through a preponderance of the evidence presented to the judge
The parent who filed for custody is usually granted it, unless the judge feels it would be in the best interests of the child to rule otherwise.
Asbsolutely ! It depends on the circumstances of the parents. The court will decide which parent is in the best position to provide on-going care for a child. They will, however, usually order 'visitation rights' to the parent not granted custody. The custodial parent has no right to defy the court order without authority from the judge. So, for example, say the father was awarded custody, and the court ordered that the child is stay with the mother every second weekend... The father couldn't refuse the child staying wiht the mother for the time granted without going back to court.
Obtaining a passport for a minor in the US requires both parents. You'd would have to get a court order giving you custody. *Being granted sole legal custody does not necessarily mean the custodial parent can remove a minor child from the US. If the court grants sole custody to one parent and visitation rights to the non custodial parent permission to take the child out of US would need to be granted by the court. The matter might be the jurisdiction of a state or federal court depending upon the resident or citizenship status of the parents.
