Can I petition the courts for custody of a child who is homeless?
Yes. In the jurisdiction where I practice family law, there are several ways to seek and obtain custody of child who is not your biological offspring:
- petition for guardianship
- petition to terminate parental rights/petition for adoption
- request for child protective order
