Q: How can I get legal custody of my 2 great-nephews whose mother and 2yr old sister were just killed in an auto accident?
My niece and her youngest child were killed 4/2/18 And her 2 surviving children were taken from our care by the biological father of the younger child. They were taken to their "grandmothers " whom ny niece has told several authorities and family members she would never want her children to be around because of her severe drug use, and child protection cases involving my niece previous to turning 18. She is trying to attain monies which will come once a wrongful death lawsuit is initiated.
A: Very, very sad for you. You should consider hiring an experienced family law attorney to help you. These type of proceeding are quite complicated and you will need expert help.
