While the answer is yes, that you currently have sole legal custody. That doesn't mean you can give your child to someone else. By not putting a fathers name on the birth certificate you have made this harder. You will have to go to court to either give custody to or allow the friend to adopt. The court is likely going to require that you identify the father and (at least) try to get the father's agreement.
You can indicate that you want your friend to have custody in your will, but that' is not legally binding. I suggest you consult a Family Law attorney immediately, to determine what legal options you have. |
