you need a lawyer. as long as your in good health and can support him, you have a good chance. the only tough thing will be getting her custodial rights severed, if she does not want to, your in for a fight.

Very first thing you need to do is talk to a family lawyer.
- He maybe able to get you " legal "emergency custody since the mother is not around.
- Next step you may have to appear infront of a master and plead your case. By the sounds of it your daughter should give you primary custody without a battle.
- Your daughter will have to pay child support
- Keep all bills, clothes, medical, and everything else.
Best of luck and make sure you talk to a family lawyer and see if this is the route you really want to go.

Do what you have to do but don't discourage a relationship with the child's mother. My mother took custody of my child after she kicked me out of her house. I had no where to live and thought I was doing what was best for my child(so I was told). She was 4 years old then. My child is now 21, she is not the child I started raising. She is a spoiled brat that thinks the world owes her everything. She doesn't work but gets all of her "boyfriends" to pay for everything. She has a 2 year old that she doesn't have the first clue about. She stopped going to school in the 9th grade. I had no contact with this child for a very long time. According to a stupid counselor, I was a terrible threat to my child. Funny, I have two youner children who are 14, and 11. Honor roll students, one of whom has been looked at in the 7th grade for scholarships to college. They do their chores and my 14 year old just got her first job bagging groceries 10 hours a week to put money away for college. Please, take care of your grandson. Do what you have to do for his safety and security. But leave the door open. One day his mother may realize what she is doing wrong. Hopefully. Good Luck!! I know that it is a really tough decision to make. I have made the other choice now, I will not take my granddaughter away from my wild child. I will take care of her when I can, but I cannot do to her what was done to me.

Well you can file abandoment charges on the bio-parents. If she is not taking responsibility for her son and neither is the father you should get all the perks that go with raising a beautiful child not just the financial obligation. Maybe just going to court will help her wake up and realize what she's throwing away, most importantly your grandson needs stability and if your daughter is in and out of his life it will only hurt and confuse him. Tell her all or nothing to save his emotions from her negligence.

Hey I think you should go for it... if the mom isnt really around then i say you should be the legal gaurdian I also think that anyone not responsible enough for their chile should give it up to someone who can truly cherish and care for the child the way he needs to be cared for! And at least you are his family and not some stranger right?!
well thats my two cents
good luck!!

You need to talk to a family lawyer and also give out information if your daughter is an unfit mother, neglecting her son. They will give you some advice to what you need to do from there.
I have to give you credit for rescuing your grandson from a neglectful mother. You are his hero! Wish there were more people like you. (smile)

go to an attorney and they will help you you should have no problem if you have had the child for 5 years. you can prove it by getting Dr records from all the times you have taken the kid to the Dr. have someone in the office verify that you have had the kid. just call an attorney and they will help you go from there
