Re: custody of grandchild
in order to gain custody, the person desiring the custody must basically prove to the court that the best interests of the child would be for them to gain custody. in other words it would be in the best interest of the child for the child to live permanently with them. there are many factors that a court may use to make this determination. there are also many other legal issues that may be considered by the court in making this determination. you need to consult an attorney to be fully advised.
