David’s answer: First, she should have a will done. Second, if she is currently married & her husband lives with her, there is no court filing required for him to have custody of the child. If she & the husband are separated and/or she wants some arrangement whereby a family member of hers will have joint custody, then she would need to file a custody petition in court. -- David Bliven, Westchester Child Custody lawyer (www.blivenlaw.net)
