Legal Question in Family Law in North Carolina

Re: custody

Where is the other parent? If the other parent has not been determined to be unfit or acted inconsistent with their constitutionally protected status as the natural parent or their rights terminated, you probably can't do what you want to do.

If the other parent is legally out of the picture, there are ways to achieve what you desire but it depends on the facts. Why are you doing this? Is it due to military deployment? Are you a fit and proper person to exercise custody? etc. etc.

Sorry - can't answer this fully without more facts. If you want, you can visit our Virtual Law Office at www.RiceFamilyLaw.com and we may be able to help you further.

Best wishes,
