Can i get custody of two children i have cared for since their mother 1 yr ago children are not related to me
Yes, depending on the circumstances. Generally, the parent who has custody must be deemed unfit for the court to remove the children from their custody. You should seek advice from an attorney who specializes in custody issues in the jurisdiction where the children reside.
A custody lawyer would assist someone in a legal dispute over the custody of children. For example after a divorce where children are involved, there would usually be a custody hearing (court) where a custody lawyer would aid both parties in obtaining custody or partial custody of their children. (ownership if I might say)Added: Sounds like a generic-type slang name for an attorney who specializes in the paractice area of Family Law.
The father was awarded custody of his children.
She already has custody of her children.
The non-custodial parent can go to court and request custody of the children. A judge will decide which parent should be awarded custody of the children. The circumstances under which the children are currently living, combined with the reason(s) they are not living with you will be a big factor in whether or not you get to keep custody of the children.
It depends on the state, usually the state takes the children into custody, or the closest family relative.
You can get sole custody of your children from a previous relationship by by filing custody paperwork through the courts. A judge will then review the case and determine which parent should receive custody.
