Courts generally prefer to keep children with their parents if possible; however, your grandson has lived with you for so long that you may have a decent chance. You should consult an attorney as he/she is familiar with the family courts in your area, as well as your state laws.

I think it might be a good idea to document your son's lack of involvement in his child's life up to this point. That could include attendance at parent-teacher conferences, medical visits, registration/participation in extra-curricular activities (sports, music lessons, whatever). You probably have receipts or forms that you had to sign for almost everything.

Good Luck

I'll be happy to help if I can, as will others, but you'll have to start your own thread. You can copy and paste your original post into your new thread. Please also include how your ex served you.

Thanks!
