My children’s future
I am now married and have two chilren from a previous relationship. I was never married to my childrens father. He does not pay child support because he won’t keep a job, he lives at home, he has been to prison a few times and he still thinks like he did when he was 17. He is not responsible enough to take care of my children for 2 days every other week, let alone for the rest of their lives if something ever happened to me. I want to write a ”living will” stating that if anything were to happen to me custody of my children would go to my husband, not their biological father. There is no court ordered custody, I have sole custody of them. He has been to jail for not paying child support. My question is, am I able to do this and would my childrens father be able to fight my now husband if that situation happened, for custody? And also, what procedures to I have to take to accomplish this, if able?
Thank you.
