Mobile, AL asked in Criminal Law, Family Law, Child Custody and Federal Crimes for Oklahoma

Q: I'm writing a book and I need to know if a mother is in ICU or dead, dad out on parole, does the child live with dad?

The mom is a victim of a shooting and the daughter never knew her dad. She's just now being told her dad is in prison, but about to make parole. If the mother passes, does the child go into the system or does the dad have to provide housing for the daughter and take care of her? I'm not sure what I'm going to say he did, but maybe he committed murder and/or child crimes. Much info would be appreciated. Thanks.
