Re: Sole/Physical Custody
What you are requesting is sometimes possible. Generally though the courts would prefer the child have a relationship with their father even if the mother does not want that. If you want some more help please contact me at your earliest convenience.

The answer to your question is too complex to be handled over the internet. Many questions must be
ask and answered before any advice can be given to you. You need to sit down with a family law
attorney and go over the entire family situation and assets and he can give you some general ideas about
what will happen. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
