I can't answer your question.. but wanted to wish you good luck.

My son is struggling with this very same thing, up in Iron Mountain, MI..USA. Seems no matter how the mom is, she has all the rights..period.

An attorney WAS hired.. who is VERY good. He said if the laws don't change, no money in the world will be able to get those kids away from her.

She bats her eyelashes, gets the angelic glow going, and you swear you can see her sprout angel wings, complete with halo, and hear the faint sound of harps playing in the background..

Anyway.. if you're the right parent to have these kids.. I wish you the absolute very best!

Close. What judges are looking for in custody is what they, the judges, think will be in the best interest of the children. So, if you are the dad and custody is not yet decided, you should try to show what you have done for the kids, and what you will do in the future for the kids.

Take scrapbooks of you and the kids doing things.

Know the kid's eye color (I never know anyone's eye color), judges have based custody decisions on knowledge of such things. Also, their clothing sizes.

Have a plan that includes their care; their religious training; their contact with their mother; their safety; their schooling; their medical care; their diet; all the things that kids need.

Have witnesses who can testify that you are the one who took care of the kids most of the time.

If the mother already has custody, most states presume they should stay there unless there is a compelling reason to change them. So, yes, you will need to show some sort of lack or deficiency or risk that would justify turning their world upside down, so to speak in a custody transfer.

This is not a time to get speeding tickets, nor to go to a bar for a little drink and get in a barroom brawl. We used to say try to imitate Christopher Reeves, but his accident and death have made that analogy obsolete.

There are too many judges who are so biased against male custody that it is simply not possible to get custody. Sorry, but this is true.

You would have to go to the courthouse in your town or county and file for emergency custody. They should let you have your kids that day, but if not they will set a courtdate for a custody hearing but you have to prove that the person they are with right now is abbusive or abbandoning them in any way, or if the person is a drug addict then request that person take a drug test. and have them to do a home inspection to see if there are groceries in the house where the kids live but be prepared because they will do a home inspection of your home too . Hope this was a help

A father, as you will find out, has absolutely no right to his children, at least in Okiehoma---no matter what the mother is like or what she has done or even if she is present, alive or deceased or in prison, a father will never ever receive custody of his children. The judge will award them to the state first. Get ready to learn that the hard way. Kansas may be different but I definitely know about Okiehoma.

The best advice I'd have to give would be to consult a lawyer. You will need the social security number(s) for your kid(s), and their birth dates, and your divorce decree or other like documentation. Proof of paying child support is good, but talk to a local lawyer and see what might be best for you. Good luck! Am currently in custody battle for teenage stepson, it isn't easy but it can be done!

first you have to go to court and fight for custody. if the child is a certain age the judge will take what they want into consideration. also if custody was already given to the mother you would have to proove she is unfit or can no longer provide for the children...
