Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

Maternal Grandparent Custody Rights.

I'm am the Maternal Grandparent of our grandson. I've had full custody of him since he was 2 days old. His natural father is back in the picture and wants fuul custody. My daughter is missing, and we are going to court soon. Do I have any rights? I have never recieved a cent of child support, even now, and thats ok. Hes only known us as his "Parents", even though we've taught him to call us grandma and grandpa. Thank you

You have the right to go to court and try to convince a judge why your son-in-law should not have custody. He will be the preferred custodian, but if you can convince a judge that he is unfit to be the custodial parent, you may prevail.
