Re: child left alone in father's custody
Generally, 9 years old is too young for a child to be left alone, but that fact, by itself, is not enough to compel a custody change. You should definitely file, and put all of the facts and circumstances before the court, particularly if some alternate arrangement is available, or if husband's employment change is temporary. Call me or e-mail to discuss it further.
