I know this is morbid but would like some advice on what would happen legally to my ds if I pass away, and if even worse both myself and my partner both pass away.
My partner and I are not married however we are still together and he is named on my ds birth certificate. (My ds was born in 2012)
If I die will my partner get custody of our ds even though we are not married?
If the worst happens and both my partner and I pass away before our ds is 18 who will be his guardians? If I make a will appointing my parents as his guardians would that stand?
I know this is morbid but I hate to think of our ds not having a stable home and as awful as it sounds we think my parents would be better guardians than my partners even though they are younger. Would a will protect my wishes?
Thanks for any advice you can give :)
