Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan
Limited Custody
My husband's daughter, who now resides in Georgia, gave a limited custody of her daughter to a couple in Michigan before she left the state. They now want to sue for full custody and then go for adoption. She does not want this, but is in a custody battle with Social Services in Georgia which has custody of her other daughter. She would now like to change the custody order in Michigan to give her father, a resident of Virginia, full custody of her daughter. What steps does she need to follow in order to do this? Are there any steps her father needs to take in order to gain custody of his granddaughter?

Re: Limited Custody
From the limited information that you gave, it seems that your daughter does not have a permanent, substantial relationship with the grandfather. Since custody was transferred voluntarily to the foster parents, it seems that the court would look to the best interests of the child and allow the child to remain where she is. I think the court would find it offensive that the child is being sent around like a package.
