you may surely get the custody of the child as you are the natural guardian of your child and in the absence of the mother of the child, the custody has to be with you. go ahead, and file a custody case, and you will surely get the custody as the grandmother doesnt have any right to claim custody in the absence of her daughter.

You are natural guardian of the child. you should file a petition for the custody of the child and in all probability you would get custody since the mother is not around to take care of the infant.
