Legal Answers
- Q. My grandson has lived with my husband and me since birth. He's almost 5. What can we do to secure his future with us?
- A: You can petition the court to be declared a defacto custodian and for custody. Mom likely has the ability to take the child back at any point if you do not have an order from the court granting you custody. You should contact a local family law attorney to discuss the specifics of your case and develop a plan to move forward. Best of luck.
- Q. Can my sons mothers move out of state with my son?
- A: You need to file a petition for custody and parenting time. If a court has not legally declared you are the father, you will want to include a petition to establish paternity as well.
- Q. Hit by car/truck on 12/26/17, car/truck ran redlight hit me and kept going. My lt knee was dislocated, torn ligaments
