If I die, I want my mother 2 have custody of my son, since the father has not shown care.Where do I seek info?

Question

My son is 18 months (1.5 yrs) and his father has not once tried to see him. I have filed for child support and been to court once but I was thinking, should I die... I want my mother to have custody of my son since she has been with he and I since he was born, I dont want the father to all of a sudden try to take him from my mother so, where can i get information for my mother (grandmother) to have custody of my son should I die?

Answer 1

I have a sister that was in the same position. She has tried to get the father's rights terminated. When she went to the lawyer and asked him about. He said that the father would have to terminate the rights. It wouldn't matter about a Will. If the father gets wind that you have passed away, he can fight and will more then likely win. (He is that father!) The only way would be to either get his rights terminated, or like her lawyer said, don't die anytime soon!

Answer 2

You need to speak with a family law attorney. You will have to take the father's rights away in court before someone else can get custody if you were to die. Are you expecting to die soon? It isn't really reasonable to think you will die before your mother unless you have some type of illness thar could prove fatal. I would speak to an attorney and find out what ALL your options are. Hope this helps!

Answer 3

Contact a lawyer and set up a meeting to discuss your options. You need to make a will with your wishes to give custody to your mother. There is no guarantee your son's father wouldn't be able to contest the will, but your mother could show his lack of interest and support to the child in custody court. A lawyer is the place to start.

Answer 5

confident, you should get a attorney. this is in simple terms uncomplicated experience. it is not suitable in spite of if or not you're a terrific mom. Are you going to maintain asking this indefinitely? What answer are you wanting? You seem very immature. you're ranting, and asking a similar question persistently. the former day you asked a thank you to get your ex arrested, even although you have not shown he's broken any regulations. You share custody, yet you whine you at the instant are not getting newborn help. You whinge your son became put in daycare at your ex's fee. I haven't any thought what's dealing with your head, yet you do not seem to have clever expectancies.

Answer 6

Go to your local DFS (Department of Family Services) and ask. In some states, if you are not married to the father, your mother has more rights to him then his father. If he really hasn't had any contact with his father in over a year most states consider that abandonment, and that could terminate all rights to your son anyway.

Answer 7

It will be very difficult to deny Mr. Biological dad his rights to your
son, even if he is the biggest f*ck up there is... this has always
been a very touchy issue, and no matter how bad a parent he has been his lawyer will show the new super dad image in court and though he may be supervised it will be difficult to deny him.

Answer 8

well if u have heard u may die by a doter then u should go to child services or look in the yellow pages in the phone book i the nexts few day but soon get a restraining order on him

Answer 9

Try to get the father to sign away legal rights, but you will no longer get child support. If he doesnt sign them away, then he will get your son before your mom unless you fight him like crazy now. It will be an expensive hard battle.

Answer 10

Talk to an attorney. But in some states, such as Virginia, you can just write it down on paper, sign it, get it notarized & that's legal. It's possible that your state may do the same.
