Re: child custody
Yes. The standard the judge uses in determining custody is the "best interest of the child." This is a broad standard. Your daughter in law's suicide attempt may be relevant to your grandchild's best interest.

The daughter-in-law's sucide attempt could be one of many the factors the court takes into consideration when detmine "the best interest of the child." If you need assistance with custody you should consult with a family law attorney.
