Yes you can file for custody. You will however have to start the court process while the child is with you otherwise it will defeat the purpose. You will need to have the child in your custody when you start the paperwork. You do have an advantage in the case based on the information provided. However, an attorney will need to review and assess the complete situation to formulate a winning case strategy. A typical case like this can cost anywhere from $2,500 to $4,500 depending on who you go to. Feel free to contact my office and speak with a case manager at 877-866-8665 or email help@smsattorneys.com to go over your options. Licensed in New York and New Jersey but if you decide to represent yourself in court with family law paralegals taking care of the paper-work you can keep your expense at $1,500 or less. Looking forward to hearing from you.
