Q: My son is 7 his mother has no part in his life in 4 years and I would like full custody what can I do?
Custody was set around 4 and half years ago it is 50/50 mother as primary guardian, she has mental issues,and a drug addict,and pays no support at all
A:
You can petition the court for a modification of your current custody order. Your child's mother will have an opportunity to object to the modification; if that is the case it will likely be up to the judge to decide if modification of custody is in the best interest of your child.
Please feel free to visit my blog for more information on modification of custody order in PA.
