I was served with papers showing courts from North Carolina wishing to establish paternity on my son. I was served with divorce papers stating a child wasn't conceived in the marriage years ago. My ex-wife the mother; her rights were relinquished by the state for being suicidal or taking drugs. I need to know if there is a good possibility of being granted child custody rights, since I'm residing in *******, KS once paternity is established. What are the odds of taking custody of a child that resides in another state? To my understanding Grandma currently has temporary custody. PAPER WORKS IS AS FOLLOWS: This matter coming on for motion for review and permanency planning hearing and the court finds:
1) ***** County Department of Social Services requested the petition filed in this matter be amended to add ***** ***** as a party in this action and that appropriate paternity testing be accomplished on the purported fathers.
2) Guardian ad Litem requested that a Guardian be appointed on behalf of respondent mother.
3) All parties agreed that this matter should be continued due to the appointment of Guardian for respondent mother.
THE COURT CONCLUDES that there is good cause for continuing this matter, amending the petition, and appointing a guardian for respondent mother.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT:
1) This matter is continued to the two-day session of *date*, 2006.
2) The petition is hereby amended to add ***** ***** as a party in this action and appropriate paternity testing be accomplished on purported fathers.
3) That Attorney ***** ***** is appointed guardian on behalf of respondent mother.
*judge name*
