Re: grandduaghter
Typically, it is difficult for a non-parent to take custody from the biological parents. However, based on the information you provided, I certainly think that you stand a good chance of getting custody of this child if you act soon to do so.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
