How can the custodial parent file for the non custodial parent to lose parental rights in the state of Maryland?

You can file a motion to modify custody which seeks sole legal and physical custody for yourself. The motion would lay out all the reasons why you feel it is in your child's best interest for you to have sole custody. Eventually, the court would hold a hearing where you would explain to the court the reasons you desire sole custody. You can find a list of factors that a court typically considers when making a determination as to custody at my website: http://whiterulawfirm.net/?page_id=67...

Both parents can file for child support and/or custody. Further, the father can file for support even if his income is higher than yours. The Court will consolidate the cases and hear them at the same time. Okie C. Whiteru, Esq. Phone: 202 558 6196 whiterulawfirm.net

I was in a car accident, It was not my fault. The other car involved was stolen, and the driver fled the scene, car left behind.

If there's already a custody order and you want custody or visitation changed, you have to go to the court in the state that originally issued the order, unless neither parent lives in that state anymore.
