Third Party Child Custody

Re: Third Party Child Custody
A good-faith effor is generally required. However, if the father is unknown by the mother and the 3rd party. Who do you have to notify? However, this can be a tricky area.If you are interested in obtaining access to legal advice for this and any other issues that may arise without the need to pay out big bucks first, please e-mail me and I will send some information out to you.
Either way, I wish you good luck.
