I was wondering after a mother is killed who does her child go to if the biological father has never been involved in the childs life? Can the child go to the mothers boyfriend?
Brandi_S answered Tuesday May 27 2008, 4:55 pm: It's something that has to go through the legal system. That's why it's always best for parents to decide this and create a will as soon as they have children. That way, if in the event of tragedy, the child(ren) will go to who the parents think will do best to raise them.
I see that you are 23, so I'm guessing you have a child? Perhaps not, but if that is why you ask, make a will, and there will be no argument about who the child goes to.

usually the first up would be the father, even though he isnt involved in the childs life depending on the situation he would be consulted first most likely and then if he turns down the childs relatives would be consulted, again depends on the situation and living arrangements and age. If the child wants to go with the mothers boyfriend then im sure someone could file a hearing to get custody.. if the person has god parents they would be consulted as well [ ohitscassidy's advice column | Ask ohitscassidy A Question ]
