Seek emancipation from the court, which is unlikely. Otherwise, plan to move as soon as you turn 18.

You can be required to pay child support whether you have contact or not. You should file a motion for return of custody in the court that took them.

No. Make him come home, live with you and follow the rules. They have no basis to terminate your parental rights nor should you ever give them custody.
My child's father gets visitation but he texts me almost daily and gets mad when I don't respond. I dont want to talk to him if I don't have to
Unless there is a need to discuss the child, you don’t have to text or communicate with him at all.
If my mother doesnt bother asking me to come home can she get me into legal trouble if she lets me move out before im 18??
Either you’re there with her permission or you’re not. If you’re there with her permission, you won’t get into trouble. If you’re there without her permission or against her wishes, you could get into trouble. End of story.
Im just wondering if I give my mom custody can cps stop me from. Living with my mom we share a home and the case worker said that I wouldn't be allowed to stay over night because that would be unsupervised. Im confused as to how that is unsupervised if my mom lives there too
No, but they can remove your son from your mom if there is a risk to the child.
Yes. As long as you return for all the court dates and comply with all the court orders.

No. Even grandparents rights have become virtually non-existent.
If you are being proactive and have done everything they have said to do but everything has been done outside of court do they have a time limit that they have to bring me before a judge or the case gets dropped
No.

If I've waived personal jurisdiction in district court and my ex files for a custody modification in circuit court. Does that waiver of personal jurisdiction and venue transfer to circuit court or does it all have to be reestablished by that court.
If you waived in the district court and then that same case is transferred to the circuit court snd she files for modification in the same case, the waiver is continued. If she files fir modification in any other case anywhere else, erdonal jurisdiction is not waived.
We have joint custody of our child. The mother has a meth and synthetic Marijuana charge, she is attempting to take away custody I have established due to me having a pending marijuana charge I have.
No. Only the court can change custody.
Same as any other father. Ask for the test, pay for it and if he’s yours, begin parenting.
