What if I am not the parent, i.e. a grandparent or other
relative?
If a court case between the parents does not already exist,
you can contact the Family Law Self-Help Center to discuss the paperwork to
start a custody case, or call an attorney. There is a preference for parents to
have custody of their own child so it is a difficult for non-parents to gain
custody. When a non-parent files for custody, he or she must show that the
parents are unfit and it is in the child’s best interests to be in the
non-parent’s custody.
