[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Custody court cases seem voluntary to me What happens if one parent just doesn’t participate in a hearing? Will a judge order termination of a parental right in absence of a parent? Like “Oh Dads not here, give rights/custody to the mom.” Or moms not here, just give the rights/custody of the child to dad? It’s not like a debt case where they rule against you right ? Does anyone know? [/quote] If one parent asks for custody, and the other either expresses that they don't, or doesn't file at all the parent who wants it will get it. The parent who wants custody will likely get full custody and decision making. It's possible that some visitation will be added, in case the parent wants to start using it. Rights is something different. Courts don't terminate parental rights easily, and generally only when someone wants to assume those rights, such as a step parent adoption. Terminating rights means that the parent has no obligation for child support, and that they can't pursue visitation or parenting time ever again. Courts are very hesitation to do that. [/quote]
