Can a child be forced to go with a parent? Custody battle! HELP URGENT?
MY father is trying to get custody of me, I'm 13. I don't want him to take me, I haven't known him all my life and now he is trying to take me away from my mommy. Even at 13 can I refuse to go? I don't know him at all. HE just got married and he did that to take me away. Can he do that if I refuse to go, or say that I don't know him?

If the court gives your father custody, you have to abide by it.
If you have no relationship with him, he won't get custody - he will get visitation so you can get to know him.
If you refuse to comply with the court order, your mother will be held in contempt of court.
At 13, you can let the judge know your feelings. He or she will take it under advisement but you don't get to choose. You can calmly tell the judge the fact - that you don't know your father, that you are uncomfortable with the thought of living with him, that your mom provides everything you need and as a result you are doing well (bring your report cards with you) etc.

It takes 2 people to make a infant...the guy and the girl. the guy gets his selections first. He choose if he will have intercourse and with whom and that's the top of his selections. the 2d a guy has intercourse with a woman, he has purely consented to be a daddy (beginning administration can and does fail), whether or no longer he likes it as his selections are over. the girl in spite of the undeniable fact that gets her selections 2d. If the guy refuses to have intercourse along with her, she has no decision in any respect. yet as quickly as he does, then if she gets pregnant, the innovations are her's. Now as for whilst this infant is born, the girl is in many situations the only caught looking after it whilst the guy in many situations will pay baby help...generally attempting to dodge this accountability via asserting she could have had an abortion or supply it up for adoption. Sorry, yet whilst the guy did no longer want a infant with that female, he could have not had intercourse or worn a condom. Now as for giving sole custody to the verify who needs to maintain the infant and the different occasion no longer having custody or paying financial help? It would not particularly artwork that way. If the girl is a single mom, she promptly has sole custody of the baby and the alleged father has to circulate to courtroom to get any rights in any respect (which would be in ordinary terms given after the guy is governed the father by way of a dna paternity try). additionally, the non-custodial verify would not have the means to waive the rights of the baby to acquire help from the two organic and organic mum and dad. Why could the baby be disadvantaged of his nicely suited to help via fact one occasion would not want to play mommy or daddy? They shouldn't! except they discover somebody else to undertake the baby of their place (with the consent of the different verify) or have the means to pursuade the different verify to place the baby up for adoption (an unlikely incidence), then they are caught paying baby help for a good 18 years! ultimately, adult adult males have no criminal or ethical nicely suited to tension their women to abort the baby or positioned it up for adoption against their will purely via fact the guy would not want a infant. adult adult males carry all the enjoying cards on the commencing up and that they could be held responsible for refusing to regulate their very own fertility. There are no longer any unfastened rides...in case you have intercourse with a woman, then you definitely could be saving up money for baby help...18 years worth.

Get a good attorney. And also have the court ask you who you want to live with. At 13, you will be able to have a say in who you live with.

If your Mother has legal custody of you, your father can not take you. For now, you and your mom should call the cops and see if they can help you at all. Otherwise, your custody is going to have to be handled through your family law court.

You have to do what the judge decides is best for you whether you like it or not. It's the law.

According to your post, nothing has happened yet in court. Aren't you going ballistic just a little too soon?

ask your mother's lawyer to allow you to speak in the courtroom. mention you hate your father and most judges will agree with you since you are over 12. say you would feel safer at home with your mother and that your father never visited. tell them all the bad points. "i want to stay with my mother" is very important to say to them.
