By signing him over I meant that she willingly signed the papers granting me custody in the court with a judge. The father is my son. They are still married tho not together. No parental rights were terminated for either parent
I do have legal custody through the court. He was served with the papers for the hearing when mom signed child over to me. But obviously couldn't appear because he was in prison. But the court papers do say I have legal custody.
I have had custody of my 8 yr old grandson for almost 7 yrs. His dad was incarcerated when he was 3 mos old. Mother signed custody over when he was 1. Will father automatically be able to get custody when he's released?
