My Nephew has been in custody with the Child & Family Services of Northwestern Michigan for over two years now. His Mother and Father have been incarcerated for a little over a year. Our dad has been trying to obtain custody, child in questions grandfather. The Child & Family Services states they notified family to notify them of Adam Jr's plight. But none of us was EVER notified. Thats 3 Uncles and 2 Aunts, never notified. What can be done to obtain custody?
 
I suggest your concerned family members discuss what you'd like to, and then visit with a couple of attorneys.
Obtaining custody of a child already in the system is challenging, but not impossible.
Be prepared to spend some money to TRY to do this.
Getting a child out of the state administered child care system isn't easy, nor is it cheap.
 
I do have a question though - and it might impact things greatly.

How old is your nephew, and has he been with the same foster family all this time?

I do not want to send you on a wild goose chase, but these could impact the probability of switching custody immensely.
