What is the name of your state? CA
I have several questions. I'd appreciate any light you could shed.

What is the name of your state? CA/DE

My husband has recently gotten his daughter (she's been here less than 2 weeks). He was going to put in paperwork to request the change of custody, but biomom called out of the blue (hadn't called in 18 months) and said he needed to take her. My concern is...
What is the name of your state? CA
It would be easier if I write in terms of myself. My husband and I recently bought a vehicle. We didn't have an approval from a bank before we left due to a fraud alert placed. We were told that after we confirmed who we were with the bank, there would be...
What is the name of your state? MI

What is the name of your state? VA
A dear friend of mine is going through a bitter custody battle. Among other things, he's just learned he's been divorced for a year, but has not been able to find his ex-wife for over a year. She initially went to file for divorce (I'm not even sure it was...
What is the name of your state? DE
Does anyone know of any cases (or can point me in the right direction) of stepparents getting guardianship?
I don't need it permanently. My husband is still overseas, and biomom has neglected my stepdaughter emotionally, physically, medically and...
What is the name of your state? DE
Please understand that I'm not on some evil stepmother campaign. Ordinarily, I would wait until my husband returned to handle this, but he's been overseas for more than 8 months, and there's a good chance he might not even return until next year.

What is the name of your state? CA
I'll try to be clear, but I was wondering... Suzie Q and John Doe have 3 children - 2 born in Ohio and 1 in VA (military). I believe the oldest child is 4. John Doe is a bum, and Suzie Q thinks it's great. Her parents in MI and sister in CA think the...
What is the name of your state? DE
Have more questions.
Can a father, mother and mother's grandmother have joint legal custody? (At the time the mother is minor) Does it matter the age? If the mother and father consent, can the grandmother and mother have half custody (reside together) and...
