It depends on the facts of the situation and what the court thinks is in the best interests of the child.
Re: give up rights to child to grandmother
Generally, the Courts are not gong to let your wife give up her rights unless the grandmother is adopting the boy. My guess is your wife is still going to have to pay support and provide medical insurance. Where is the father? He should be supporting the boy, too.
