Re: Child decides to stay
You can either try to get the parents to sign an agreement placing the child with you and then having that agreement approved by the Court, or you can petition the Court for custody directly. The child's input is considered, but it is only one factor among many.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
