Re: child custody

Usually this is done via an adoption if it is intended to be permanent or long-term. (A guardianship might be used for short-term situations). This is something where you want a lawyer who is experienced in adoptions, as getting the paperwork right is critical, and many lawyers lack experience in this area. If you'll contact me with more details, I can tell you a lot more of what needs to be done.
