My husband's ex who lives in North Carolina wants to send their son to live with us here in Tennessee permanently. She is the custodial parent & he pays child support. What are the steps that he needs to take to make the transition smooth & legal?

Re: Transfer of Custody
He will need to file an agreed order with the court that granted custody signed by your husband and the ex-wife. The order will state that custody is hereby transferred to the father, that the child support obligation from father to ex-wife ends, and if your husband so desires -- that the ex-wife pay him child support for caring for his son. I am very proud that you did not erect barriers or obstacles to prevent your step son from living with you. It is very important that children have loving parents. The son is in a difficult position not of his own making. Good luck to you.
