My nephew and his girlfriend who live in another state are drug addicts. They have a 9 week old baby who they have lost custody of. The baby is with the girlfriends mother who is unable to care for her. What would be involved in getting custody?

The law of the state where the child was born would govern custody of the child. Speak to an attorney there.
