Re: want to get custody of my daughter's child, she in jail

I'm not sure what you mean by "she gave custody". Custody of a child is not something that can be transferred like a car. Custody results from an Order of the Court. Was there a Suit Affecting the Parent Child Relationship? If not, see a lawyer about doing that. What does the 14 year old say? He is old enough to make a decision in this matter now.
