What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York
I'm curious.. what are the general requirements for having a parent declared unfit in the eyes of the court in NYS? Does there have to be CPS involvement? Would police records and admitted threats against the child's life constitute a parent as unfit? If there is an Order of Protection against a father on behalf of a child and mother, and he suddenly sues for custody of the child, what happens then?
Any answers are, as always, appreciated.
