Q: How do I go about getting full custody of my child he has been with me since he was 6 months and he is now 4 yrs old.
His mother dropped my son off to my mother when he was six month old and haven't had him since and I got my son from my mother about a year ago and since he has been with me the mother is trying to take my son. I provide for my son, pay his daycare fees, and give him the love that he deserves and on top of that I just found out that she is getting wic in a whole nother household that he never stayed in. What can I do about the situation
A: You will likely need to get an attorney to file the necessary paperwork to start a child custody action.
