    Default How to Get a Custody Order When You Don't Know Where the Children Now Reside

    My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Arizona is where I reside but other states are involved.

    I live in AZ now and I have a son in Las Vegas, a son in San Antonio and a son somewhere in the US. My last son whose whereabouts I am unaware of was taken out of Missourri by my Xwife a long time ago so I'm not sure where they are. How do I get custody or atleast partial custody of my three boys so I can see them and be a part of there life as a father instead of as a paycheck and some bad words through their mom?

    Default Re: Multiple States Custody

    You hire an attorney in Nevada and one in Texas to begin custody proceedings there. You hire someone to track down squirt #3 and then hire an attorney in that state to begin custody proceedings. Expect to possibly have to do a lot of travelling.

    How long has it been since you saw any of them? Is there any court order for support or custody already in place?

    At this point partial custody maybe would not happen. Visitation definitely would happen if you asked for it. However, you would have to sue for visitation of each child in the state where that child resides. You would have to find the mother and child (the ones you don't know where they are) before you could even serve a case for visitation. That is not going to be easy to do from another state, at least not without plenty of money for attorneys and travel.
