Your question evokes the sense of a long legal journey. You may have heard of the story recently in the news where a father from the east coast obtained custody of his son from Brazil. The part of the story not necessarily highlighted in the news was that it took him over 5 years to do that and he had many lawyers involved in the entire process. Your best approach to finding the answer to this question is to contact a family law attorney in your town. You will need to bring all of the documentation you have as to your grandchild and further be able to explain why you want such custody. At some point, if you end up in court, a judge will ask you that very question.

Good luck
