Question:
What is Important to Know About Seeking Custody of Your Niece or Nephew?
Answer:
Generally, a parent’s right to custody of the children is superior to all others. However, a non-parent can seek custody of a child. They must first demonstrate extraordinary circumstances. Extraordinary circumstances include things like surrender, abandonment, neglect, unfitness. Once you’ve established that extraordinary circumstances exist, the the court will determine whether or not it’s in the best interest of the child or children to be in your care.
