Re: Next of Kin
Your husband has just as good of a claim to custody as the other relatives. Your husband needs to find a good attorney and bring an action for custody if that's what he thinks is in the child's best interest.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
