I am seeking custody in Maryland of a 15 year old child, I
have known the child since his birth. There is no blood
relation between myself or my husband and the child. The
childs mother is an alcoholic that is in an abusive
marriage. I would like advice on what type and how many
witnesses to take to a testimony hearing with me and the
child. The child has been living in my home since June and
Social Security has appointed me his Designated Payee. The
brother of the child which will be 18 on March 1, 2009 has
been living in my home since September 14, 2009. I have
guardianship for school purposes of the child at this
time. At 15 can this child just tell the judge that his
home life was just too metally abusive, and that he would
like to stay with my husband, myself and his brother.
