The legal steps involved in filing a motion to intervene for custody generally include the following:

Draft the Motion

File the Motion: Submit the completed motion to the appropriate court where the custody case is being heard. Pay any required filing fees or request a fee waiver if applicable.

Serve the Parties: Serve copies of the motion to all parties involved in the existing custody case, including the parents and any other guardians.

Attend the Hearing: A hearing will be scheduled where you can present your case to the judge. Be prepared to explain why your intervention is necessary and how it serves the best interest of the child.

Await the Court’s Decision: The court will issue a ruling on your motion to intervene. If granted, you will officially become a party to the case and can participate in custody discussions.
A motion to intervene for custody is a legal request made to a court by someone who is not currently a party in an ongoing custody case but has a significant interest in the outcome. This could be a relative, friend, or another individual who believes they should be involved in custody decisions regarding a child.

Key Points:

Purpose: The motion seeks permission for the individual to join the existing custody case, allowing them to present their views and arguments about what would be in the best interest of the child.

Interest of the Child: The person filing the motion must demonstrate a legitimate interest in the child’s welfare, such as being a relative or having a close relationship with the child.

Best Interest of the Child: The motion typically argues that their involvement is necessary to protect the child’s best interests, especially if there are concerns about the current custody arrangements.

Court Decision: If the court grants the motion, the individual can participate in the case and present their case for custody or visitation rights.
