Re: custody of a grandchild
You need Dad's permission too.
If everyone agrees, you need to open a legal case at the courthouse and then have the parents sign a waiver of service & the final legal document for the judge to sign.
Then you need to go to court and stand in front of the judge and read a statement to the judge under oath.
Grandparents getting custody happen every day!
Good luck!
I recommend hiring an attorney to make sure you do everything right and in the right order.
