Q: I let my sons grandparents take him to raise him because I didn't have a good home. Now I do and want him back. How do I
When he was born and became Sick I tried my hardest as a teen mom. But I didn't have a realistic home setting and knew this was best. Never signed paperwork or anything. Just let him go there. Now I have a good home setting and want him back but they are saying they have custody and are primary caregivers I never signed anything or any documents. I've also been present. I take him every other weeks am at their house every night. Attend every appointment, school function and etc. I have been present the whole time. How do I get him back with me?
A: You need to see an attorney about this. The attorney will be able to ask questions and get answers from you.
A:
You have to file a petition with the court to get the child back.
Use of a lawyer is recommended
