What state?Will I be handed custody of my son after his mother left us three years ago and was recieving snap benefits for those 3 yrs and not bringing our son any food or support?
Where has the child been primarily living those three years?Will I be handed custody of my son after his mother left us three years ago and was recieving snap benefits for those 3 yrs and not bringing our son any food or support?
Then why didn't you file for custody three years ago? Do so now. Status quo is definitely in your favor.He has been living with me,and I am his biological father. I raised him and three other children and also provided for all. She left and has not to this time provided any food or support for school, summer programs, clothing, or anything else. She would stop by and give him ten or twenty dollars but that is not supporting the child, that is giving him corner store money to spend. I give him that weekly for chores that he will do to help out around the house.
Petition the court for custody.He has been living with me,and I am his biological father. I raised him and three other children and also provided for all.

How old is the boy?I am more concerned with the well being of my son and that is why I am seeking advice about filing now.
That is the best attitude to have.There is no court order for neither of us to pay child support, and I am not seeking money from her. I am more concerned with the well being of my son and that is why I am seeking advice about filing now.
