A parent's rights and responsibilities don't automatically end because there is a problem with substances. Those rights are handled independently, and if they have not been restricted, they remain intact, as far as they can be given the living situation of the father. A father could not demand that a child live with him while he is in rehab, for example.
yes
No.If he's in "Rehab"he's "trying" to better himself.That is NOT Abandonment.
Provided family services has not taken the child, and/or the father has filed a child in need of care motion.
He cannot simply take the child. He needs to request custody in the court that has jurisdiction over the child.
If the court orders require it, than yes. It should be encouraged as it shows the children that people can change.
Nicole Curtis is a "rehab addict" on the HGTV channel. She had a child named Ethan with her ex-husband Steve Lane.
Relatively uncommon, a child's rehab center could be found by searching the web or asking someone at a adult rehab center
take your child to rehab. they will believe you and get your child some therapy.
they went into rehab.
Temporarily. When a mother is in rehab and there is no father in the home, the child is classified as dependent (no parent or guardian willing or able to provide for and care for the child.) If the mother is able to work out an arrangement with a family member or friend while she is in rehab, sometimes that will suffice. Occassionally DHR/DCS will become involved and ensure the child has a safe placement and then upon return from rehab, DHR/DCS will administer random drug screens or require counseling before the family can return to "normal". Some rehab progams allow children and have a separate area for the children while the parent is in class. As long as the mother clearly shows that she is attempting to do what is in the best interest of her child, she shouldn't have to worry.
you should because it will let your kid know there father cares RE: I'm sorry to respond so immaturely but that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard, and at least learn to spell before you go answering questions. The father DOESN'T care to pay child support, DOESN'T care to change diapers, DOESN'T care to follow up with rehab after his DUI, and has no interest in taking responsibility for the child he created. I wasn't asking an opinion, I was asking legal rights.
Yes unless this child is sent away in some rehab
