Q: Can I take my biological children from their biological father and keep them at my residence and not get in trouble?
I want my children to live with me and go to school in my county without getting in trouble. Me and their father have no legal agreement about custody.
A:
An unwed Mother is the sole and natural guardian of children born outside of a marriage. Therefore as the Mother, only you have the authority to choose their school and their residence. Once you go to court though, that changes. You may want to try to work it out with the Father. Otherwise, you and the Father may end up in court in order to get a court order on "custody".
Good luck.
