Re: letting his parents raise his son
Of course you can prove whether he lives in the same house as his son. You can have witnesses who know the truth testify, you can show up yourself to see, you can ask the court to appoint a lawyer for the child who he can tell the information to, you can hire a private detective, you can follow him one night to his real address. And yes if you want custody back because the man isnt living with his son then this is critical to have.
Good luck

Your daughter should contact an attorney from the jurisdiction that awarded custody to the child's father. Unless that order is modified, that order should govern.
