Home » » Child Custody

Do I have a chance of getting custody of my late wife's child, rather than her biological father? I have raised her with her late mother, who died of cancer , since she was a toddler and am very close to her.

Not if the child's biological father is willing to raise her, and has the requisite parental capability. He, as her biological father, is her surviving parent, and natural guardian and will, therefore, have preference over you, despite your close relationship.
