Re: Child custody
Hello. I can understand your concerns. I currently am familiar with a case where a grandmother has
"intervened" in her daughter's case and now has physical possession of her
granddaughter. It appears as if she will soon have custody. There are certain standards that a court will follow before allowing a party to intervene. Will be happy to discuss this further and in more detail.
