Q: I have my cousins son and he has been with me for 3 months how can I get custody of him since his parents abandoned him?
His mother called us and told us that his stepmom dropped him off and to come get him because they were getting kicked out. Neither one the mother or father hasn't help with anything for him and hasn't contacted us in 3 months. Me and my wife went to DEFACS and now his dad contacted them and wants him back but hes not legitimized. What do I need to do?
