Re: Grandparent custody
Where is the child now? If the father is named on the birth certificate, he has primary right to legal custody. However, you can apply to the court for custody arguing the best interest of the child. You should see an attorney as soon as possible to push your rights to protect the child's interests. If you call and mention Law Guru the first consultation is free.

This is one of those situations where no one can help you on this site. You need to sit down with someone for a good half hour and discuss the whole case. Feel free to give me a call at 732/247/3340 if you'd like to discuss the case. My initial consultations are always free.
