Q: Hello my name is xxx I am needing legal advice on my daughter her grandma wants me and my child's father to sign joint
Custody, of my daughter to her. We was never married and he is not on the birth certificate but we do however have a DNA proving he's the father, we all live in the state of ky and I don't understand fully on the joint custody process like what are all the steps we need to take to do joint custody & how or if it will Effect my second child, would doing so make me look bad as a parent. Would they take my second child if I gave joint custody to them
Could I choose to get more days does the judge take my 5 year olds choice in to consideration do we have to take it to court could we just do and agreement and have it notarized by the clerk. What do I have to sign & can I get help understanding what it say also who pays for the fees and how much is it to do a joint custody
Thank you so much
A: You should never give custody away voluntarily bc it can be very difficult to get it back. It could negatively affect your second child. Highly recommend you Regan custody for yourself.
