: Florida Divorce - Child Custody - Domestic Abuse LawCustodial Rights of Child?s Only Living Parent Are Challenged Based on The Parent?s ? Religious Conversion
By Janet Langjahr
Indian Mother and Father of Hindu faith have Child together.
Mother dies.
Father takes up with another Woman, and converts to Islam.
Mother’s brother, Uncle, files for guardianship of Child based on Father’s abandonment of Hinduism and Uncle’s fear that Child will be kidnapped.

- awarding temporary custody of Child to … Uncle.
