the father of my daughter has legal custody in washington state.my daughter and I live in indiana state. i want joint custody of our daughter. my daughter lived with her father for 4 months then he called me up and told me to come get her so i flew back and did so she has been with me every since then a little over 2 years..he does pay $200 a month for her but thats it he has nothing else to do with her at all.
my questions are what do i have to do to get the custody case moved from washington state to indiana state? what do i file ? do i make a motion? if so what kind?
has any one ever done the pre pay attorney? if so what was that like?
i know that once i get my case moved here the judge will grant me joint custody . i am a verry god mom she loves living with me.

i for got to say that i was homeless when i lost custody of my daughter it was for a short time. this is why i moved to indiana. we have a verry good life now that we terned our lives over to the LORD. we live in a wonderful town and we have a great house that we are raising our family in. we are verry secure in life now and have lots of support from our church that we go to .

Just as long as you meet the residency requirements of Indiana, you can file there and go to court there, otherwise youll have to go back to Washington. Hopefully you have some kind of legal document giving you temporary custody from her father. It sounds like he is ready to sign her over to you anyhow so there should be no problem here. As her mother with physical custody of her you have all the rights a mother can have. You may have trouble getting child support out of him though. Good luck

Unfortunately, the case remains where it starts at, you can file a motion for legal joint custody. Be Blessed!

You did have a right to her when you gave birth to her! Did you give custody to her dad? If so, it is your fault. If you are sure you want to take care of her for the rest of her life and want her to be yours legally...you need to contact a lawyer.

I am not aware of the laws. I do know, that you need to get all the info you need for your daughter's sake. It sounds like she has been bounced around a lot and that has to stop. Call any lawyer and get the info you need.

That's a hard one. I would see if you could find a lawyer that deals with custody cases, one that has a free consultation.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS GO TO YOUR LOCAL DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE AND FILE FOR TEMP CUSTODY AND IF IT HAS BEEN OVER 6 MONTHS HE HAS NOT SEEN HER YOU CAN GET HIS PARENTAL RIGHTS ABOLISHED AND YOU COULD GET LEGAL CUSTODY
