Re: Custody
There is not a "form" that you can use to do this. Generally, a custody agreement is negotiated and signed by both biological parents, and then the Family Court must approve the agreement in order for it to be enforceable.
You should consult with an experienced family law attorney to discuss your options based on the facts of your particular case. You can visit my family law blog at www.SCFamilyLaw.com for more information. Good luck,
