What would happen if the custodial parent of 2 teens (16 & 17) passed away and the teens refuse to go live with other parent whom they have not had contact with for almost 10 months?
I know deafacto custody goes to the living parent but at those ages I also would assume a court can't "force" them to reside with anyone.
A family member is going away for a week & kids approached him upset about whether he had a will, where would they live if the plane went down, etc...
He asked me and I'm stumped. The kids say they want to reside with grandparents or aunt should something happen to him but he knows bio mom will put up a fight which will likely build the wall between her & the kids even higher. It's not a good situation all around
