Filing for Custody of a Minor Child in Florida
by Mark and Deb
My wife and I currently have temporary custody of a minor child that is a family friend from GA. The mother of the child has stated to us that she doesn't think she can afford to support her child. The little girl has diabetes and thus far my wife and I have been able to stabilize her levels unlike her mother who has given her energy drinks and such. The bottom line is that if she is to go back to her mother there is a fear that she will not be taken care of and given the best home life. How do we go about filing for full custody?
