You need to have an attorney involved as soon as possible, so that pleadings will be ready to file as soon as the child is born. Speak with an attorney who handles custody and family law matters. Good luck.
Dad isn't supposed to get him unless his living arrangements are stable. However the dad took the kid from me. My mom still has legal custody but won't help me get him from dad.
Then hire a untidy lawyer, get 3 months of clean monitored drug tests and get him back.

Technically, if a child leaves home at 17, she cannot be arrested. However, her father could file to have her adjudicated as a delinquent. At 18, she is a legal adult and can live wherever she wants.
My husband is $10K behind on his son from a previous relationship. I am looking to see how this will affect the out come of how much custody he receives of our son we have together and the current divorce.

Yes. Your son has his own rights.
Both the biological father and step mother have been raising the child for the past 11 years.
The mother could not sign away her rights except if they were terminated by Child Protective Services. or as part if an adoption. Hire an adoption lawyer.

3) If he is in high school or Hi-Set and lives on his own, then child support for him owed to son, not father.
4) If... Read more »
