Legal Question in Family Law in New York. Godparent Custody. I was wondering what legal right a Godparent has. A friend of mine is the Godmother of a child who's father has passed, and the mother is in the hospital. The grandparents are trying to take custody of the child, but my friends' name is on the birth certificate as Godmother.
Providing the child has enough godparents, there's nothing to stop people being 'honorary godparents', without technically being one. That is fairly common in the Church, he says, explaining that the Church is soon to advise using the term supporting friend. godparent is supposed to mentor the child in their faith. And the rules haven't changed. Because of what godparent strictly means, we only have practising Catholics as godparents, and fellow Christians as 'special witnesses', says Fr Paul Keane, a parish priest in Essex.
