Q: My ex-wife has passed away and am trying to get my kids to come with me but she gave her right to her sister not by cour
She had left a letter saying her sister can have custodial rights when she passed. But it was never done through court, I want my kids here with me. So my question is do the kids come directly to me or do i have to start a case on this? The lods where staying woth their grandma but are coming with me, but their grandma is saying sje is calling the cops on me for kidnapping. From there i am not kidnapping the kids since they wanted to come on their own. I as well have been paying child support for my kids when we seperated.
A:
Who has the kids now? It's best during this time of sadness to discuss this with your kids, if they are old enough, and whoever is caring for them.
You are legally entitled to their custody until a court rules otherwise. Good luck, and be mindful of the terrible loss the kids have suffered.
