Q: What would I need to do to get sole custody of my son?
I've been raising him and supporting him myself his whole life. His mother has only been in his life when its convenient for her and it's been the better part of a year since shes even tried to contact him. She has a very serious drudgery addiction. I have sole custody of my youngest son already and I'm only trying to protect him from being hurt and also from being exposed to the lifestyle that she chooses to live. She has always made promises that never came through and hurt him because of it.
A: Your lawyer can file for sole custody ND supervised visitation or your wife can file for adoption.
