Q: What will happen in court if my mother is trying to get custody of my kids and i am willing to give them to her?
I moved out a year ago n left my kids with her . I just want to know what will happen in court . Will i just need to sign n it be done?
A: If the parties are in agreement, it is more likely that the court will agree. However, you don't mention if the other parent agrees to the custody placement. That person has to be noticed and served with paperwork about the hearing, and their position could change the outcome.
