Williams custody ruling grants Ansel Williams son custody
Ansel E Williams is awarded possession of his seven year old son after a habeas corpus action filed by the father against Dorothy and Harry Steele. The court in Manchester held the child may visit his maternal grandfather's home at least four times yearly for six hours each visit, while the father gains custody despite concerns about the Steeles’ residence and potential fraud in obtaining jurisdiction. The decision notes natural parents’ rights but prioritizes the child’s welfare and orders the defendants to pay costs.
