Short answer: no. Custody is between you and your ex, for the most part. In extraordinary circumstances,children can move through "next friends" for hearings, and even third parties (usually, grandparents) can request custody or visitation. Much of the detail, the statutes, etc., are posted at http://www.willicklawgroup.com/child_custody_visitation.
