Your Legal Questions Answered
I’m trying to get custody of my godson with the help of his mom. The mom has full custody of him is there a way I can get some type of custody so he’s able to live with me and go to school?
Yes, it is possible for grandparents to get custody in some circumstances. Here, the role of the biological father will determine how we would approach your case. For example, if he is known and has legal parental rights, he must be legally notified of the custody change request and will have an opportunity to object. On the other hand, if your grandson's mom has full custody and agrees to a custodial change, the process is significantly more straightforward.
Additionally, we need to consider any existing custody orders, as these would dictate the appropriate legal steps to modify custody (possession and access) in accordance with Texas law. A detailed assessment of these factors is crucial for forming a legal strategy that aligns with your goals.
I strongly recommend a consultation. This will allow us to discuss your specific situation, the involvement of the biological father, and any prior custody orders. From there, we can outline a tailored approach to pursuing custody or guardianship, ensuring that you're fully informed of your legal options and the steps involved in making your godson's living and schooling arrangements with you a reality.
