It is not always automatic as the parent of the person who gets banged up is normally there on the spot so 'assumes' custody.
However, a quick visit to court can change things very easily providing the NCP has had regular contact and visitation with the child.

Psst.. I am not an attorney, and even if I was, I would not tell you. Which technically could mean I am an attorney, but I would not tell you either way. What I am giving you is not legal advice in anyway. For proper legal advice, retain a person who openly admits they are an attorney. |
