What is the name of your state?Washington,DC
I have a godson with a unfit mother,mind you she has 2 other boys. If anyone was to check her background as far as the kids go,from missing weeks at a time in school to the youngest one not even being enrolled, I know the state would take the kids but would i have any rights for my godchild or will i be against someone else for custody. |

You have no legal standing to sue for custody in any form.

First in line would be the other biological parent, then grandparents, and then likely even aunts and uncles (although they are 3rd parties that generally do not hold standing for custody). In any event, the only chance that you would have for custody is if no one else attempted that was blood related.

| | | | dont count on getting custody
"what if he is turned over to the state vs being in her custody" it wouldnt really make much difference. you would be far down the line for custody. the state would decide who gets custody of the child, so i wouldnt hold my breath. you have no legal relationship to the child, and no legal rights to the child. |
