I am paying child support and have been considered present less that 10% of the time. However, my child’s mother does not want to give my child to me. She only drops her off when convenient and will not give her to me even on my days off. Instead she drops them off at a caretaker and says my... Read more »
Sounds like you are paying support without any enforceable court orders regarding custody. If you want custodial time with your child, you need to petition the court for those orders. Otherwise, Mom can pretty much do whatever she wants.
Recently my sons father contacted me for the first time after not having heard a word from him three years and wanted to see my son. Prior to this he had only seen him twice when my son was three and then went to prison for two years. Legal paternity has not been established nor is his name on my... Read more »
You open with saying that no custody orders exist. If no custody orders exist then what the father is doing is not in violation of any court orders. That's why the police can't help you. File a parentage action and ask for sole legal and physical custody. Concurrently with your... Read more »
He can come here every other weekend to see her. He has only done that twice. She is supposed to go to AZ for vacations throughout the year. She doesn't want to go. Her father tells her she doesn't have to visit him if she doesn't want to. Should I be making her visit him due to custody agreement?
It is not the first time that you will hear that move-away cases are extremely difficult.

Mom, on the facts stated you have mentioned the 2 criteria for the termination of Parental rights. Lack of contact with the child and lack of any support.

You could be charged with a misdemeanor if you help him remain "missing" from his legal guardian. (272 P.C.) However, he could apply to the court for a declaration of Emancipation and be able to make his own decisions about where to live. He should have a work permit, and legal... Read more »

The issues you are dealing with have important consequences to you and your children. Seek experienced counsel to assist you.
She thinks I’m a bad influence because she made assumptions about me. I haven’t hung out with her daughter in over a year or even gone to their house in two. She thinks that her dad will let me hang out with her but her dad and step mom hate me to.
How is this an immigration question? It seems like a matter that involves child custody. You may have rights, but may lose them if this is your child.
I strongly recommend an appointment with a competent California domestic relations attorney that handles child custody issues. Good luck!

Your file a petition for parentage and ask for custody orders, or you can file a separate stand-alone petition for custody. I'm assuming 1) you were not married to the father; and 2) there are no existing custody orders in place. If there are custody orders in place, then you need to amend... Read more »

If there are no custody orders in place (i.e. signed by a judge and filed with the court) and no petition for custody or visitation have been filed, you are free to move wherever and whenever you want.
By that, I mean by Federal law, any possible state law, and California law.
