Your daughter and her boyfriend both have responsibility for all of their baby's bills...you do not. You and the boyfriend both have responsibility for your daughter's bills (her care, not the grandbaby's) to the medical providers, and your daughter is probably responsible for her own costs too. Your daughter needs to go see an attorney to deal with all of this.
