Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio
Course of action concerning abandoned granddaughter??
My daughter has chosen to break a restraining order placed on her
husband after a domestic violence
incident by staying with her
husband elsewhere than their
home. Her 4 yo daughter (my granddaughter) has been in my
care since the incident several days
ago and my daughter has had no
contact, no response to phone calls
and has obviously abandoned her
daughter to me. What is my
recourse as far as the law? Can I
file charges? Can I seek
guardianship? How do I know
where to begin...I want to protect
my granddaughter as her step
father (who is mentally
ill/schizophrenic) doesn't want her
in their life and has given my
daughter an ultimatum (him or the
child) and she has obviously made
her choice by abandoning this
beautiful child....I am sick over it.

Re: Course of action concerning abandoned granddaughter??
I both parents are willing to sign over total care of your grandchild to you immediately, you might be able to have them sign a power of attorney for kinship care granting you the power of attorney.
