Legal Question in Family Law in California

Grandparents supeanaed
Our daughter is seeking child support from a married man she had an affair with. He has only seen the child maybe 5 times in 7 1/2 years even while he was still in a relationship with her for those 7 1/2 years. He had an open door to have a relationship with the child but didn't want one. Now the affair is over and she is seeking support. For the first 4 1/2 years of the childs life he and her lived with us the grandparents. We have partnered with her in helping to rear and care for the child. When she and her son moved out we have continued to be involved in his life and support. We pay for his private schooling and babysit when his mom works and try to spend as much time with him as we can. My daughter and grandson spend a lot of time at our house. His school is close to our home so that we can pick him up from school. Sometimes they spend the night and sometime if it gets too late he will spend the night while she goes home. But most of the time they go home together. She went to court with a lawyer but the child's father had an out spoken and aggressive lawyer who really out manuvered her lawyer and is insisting that we are the one's rearing the child and not her therefore she shouldn't get much child support if any.

If you think her attorney isn't doing a good job, she should consult with another attorney before an order or ruling is made.
