When neither the mother nor father of a child is able to care for that child, sometimes another relative will step in to make sure the child has the home and support needed. If you are considering non-parent custody for a child, consult a family law attorney at the R. J. Peters & Associates law firm in Phoenix, Arizona.
We offer a free initial consultation. Call now to see how we can help.
