Q: What form do I need to file for sole legal custody?
Myself and father of my children have Joint legal custody.
He has failed to inform me of our children getting shots until after he took them to doctors to do so.
Baptized our one year old son in July 2018& I barely found that out this December 2018.
He apparently doesn’t live where he told the courts & myself.
Difficulties in co parenting with him.
Do I have a case
A:
You should consult with an attorney about the specifics of your case, but, to answer the question "What form...", the answer is a Request for Order to modify child custody and visitation.
You'll be ordered to counseling to try and work out a custody plan, and, if you don't agree, then the counselor will send a report and recommendation to the court. At the hearing, you'll make your arguments and the father will make his, then the court will make the final custody order.
Good luck.
