Question:
My ex-wife has signed over custody of my thirteen year old son to my current wife and myself. We have one other son together, he is 11. I found out last night that she and her current husband are going through a divorce. What are the chances of getting my youngest son with me too, so he does not have to go through the divorce scene again? I am really concerned about his emotional well being. He and his step dad were pretty close, unlike the thirteen year old and the step dad. I really need some advice. We live in Georgia.
Answer:
I am not currently licensed in your State and therefore cannot answer your question specifically to the laws of GA. Generally, I believe you have a solid basis for a Motion to Modify Custody. The mother's situation is in flux and that could involve a change of school, new home and other negative aspects of the divorce. Furthermore you sons are of a similar age and courts are very reluctant to separate siblings.
