Child Custody

questions & answers

Question: I never married the father of my daughter. Will he be able to take custody of my daughter. He is a convicted felon and currently does not have a place to live. I pay for her insurance, preschool, clothes and food. I want to get sole custody. Is it possible.

Answer:

Whether a person can or cannot get custody of a child is ultimately determined by the court. Custody can be a complicated issue and depends on the specific facts of each situation.  To find out how the laws apply to your specific situation, you may want to consult with an attorney.
