There is a relatively new provision in the Family Code that gives a parent the right to consent to a close relative being able to care for a child. the father will have to be notified. It is possible that the father may want to change his orders so that he would be the custodial parent. Whether he could do so would be up to the judge. You should probably consult with a family law attorney before doing anything.
