    Question How Can I Get Sole Legal Custody

    My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Pennsylvania & Georgia

    I have a Protection From Abuse order from PA valid 08/2008 to 08/2011 which grants me custody and gives the father visitation through a third party. I also have a divorce granted 07/2010 of which there is no mention of custody due to the PFA. I have lived in GA now for a year and a half and we have had no contact which includes no visitation with the father since 2008. We haven't seen or heard from him since then and I have no contact information for him. How can I go about getting sole custody? Also, can I have my PFA end date extended in GA? The children are now 11, 9 & 9.

    You should have an attorney look at your PFA. Its possible that it grants you custody permanently while the protection order part of it expires in 2011. Why didn't you also address custody in the divorce?
