If your state's laws require a court to maintain continuing jurisdiction over a case establishing conservatorship or custody of a minor child, your costs will probably be somewhat less than if you have to file a new case. Since most attorneys charge $75-500 per hour, their fees vary greatly. Talk with friends or family who have used different attorneys and then visit with several to determine which ones you feel most comfortable with and which ones you can best afford.<br><b>References : </b><br> The cost depends largely upon your state laws and what the attorney your folks use charges for his or her services.

Just a bit of paperwork. TIP: Keep the Lawyer's out of it if u can, & there should be no problem.<br><b>References : </b><br> I'm not a Lawyer, but thru my experiences with going to Court alot with my Ex, if the other Parent is willing it shouldn't cost anything, & if it does it should be next to nothing.

We researched the law library, and did the necessary paperwork ourselves, it was an ex-parte custody. Including the guardian ad litum fee, we spent about $500, and it took 18 months to complete.<br><b>References : </b><br> When we did it, we didn't use a lawyer, which saved a lot of money.

Well, I don't actually think it cost to get the kid. If the parent is willing to give the kid to your parent's custody. All they really spend is their time. The only thing your folks would have to pay for. . . I believe is his/her's needs. Like clothes; food; ect.<br><b>References : </b><br>I've been through it. Hmmm.
