My husband and I took in our 9-year old grandchild who essentially has been abandoned by both his biological parents. We would like custody. How do we go about it?
You should begin with a petition in the Juvenile & Domestic Relations Court in the county where the child lives. Notice must be given to the parents of the hearing. The procedures in attempting to get custody are very complicated. You should consult with a local attorney who has experience in these matters.
