I had my daughter in louisiana and her dad is abusive and drug addicted-we were never married. Ileft him 1 1/2 years later and now am married to a good man since may of this year we were married in W.V. Where do I file for full custody can I do it in W.V?

Your best option is to contact an attorney (family law). Since you are asking these questions on the forum, I'm assuming you don't know where to begin or what to do. This leads me to believe that you would be much better off contacting an attorney and exploring your options through an expert professional.

If you and the child are in WV, you can do it there. However, you would need to serve bio Dad in LA. And you may want to seek sole custody or even ask him to terminate parental rights, so you are the sole legal parent and also so your husband can adopt the child in the future if things work out that way.
