Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia
adoption by a relative
How do i go about giving my sister in Colorado legal custody of my three children ? I am divorced from their father , who has not been supporting them . I am in legal trouble and facing jail time and don 't want my children in state custody or foster homes . I want to let my sister legally adopt them so they will not have to go into state custody . I only work part time and can not afford a lawyer . Any help i can receive on this matter will be greatly appreciated . Thank You .
