Where does one start to gain full custody of a child? ?

Question by ?????: Where does one start to gain full custody of a child? ?
In regards to a single mother who is in care for the child now. How does such a court fight start. What proofs does the mother have to prove incapable etc.

No divorce involved either. How does this affect the situation.

Best answer:

Answer by Halo Mom
See a lawyer

Is the father in the picture
Does he want custody? (full or shared)
Does he see the child?
Does he pay child support

You can get 20 different single mom’s
Basic on the question above
Some will answer no to all, that will be easy to do
Some will answer yes, and that will be harder, if the father is involved a lot
Most will be answer yes/no to half

If you are not married it does not matter
I have a father on my block with full custody of his child, and he was never married to the mother. He was always the primary caregiver

I think that what matters for custody
