Q: I WANT FULL CUSTODY OF MY 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER.
I am trying to get full custody of my daughter. I am a single mother, I have been taking care of my 5 year old daughter since she was born. Her father and I went to a mediation and got paperwork made, years later he wants to be involved in her life. I don't trust him because he used to be on drugs, tired to commit suicide TWICE, and doesn't have a stable home. Please help!!
A: If you have a custody case in court, you need to hire an experienced family law attorney. The attorney can review the mediated settlement agreement and look at the current situation and advise you as to how to proceed.
