The state I live in is New Jersey.
Hi. I'm helping a friend who is a grandparent (he and his wife) of a grandchild who they are attempting to retain custody of. The grandchild is about 2 years old and is the son of my friend's daughter (the mother). The mother is not married and lives with a roommate in Burlington County.
The mother has a psychological history and works as dancer in a strip club. She is also the mother of another child (a 5 year old son) that these same grandparents already have custody of. The 2 year old is currently in the custody of the grandparents and they are fighting to retain that custody.
My friend wants to know how he can obtain a "home study" of his daughter's residence, with the intent of showing his daughter's residence and way of life would not be a healthy atmosphere to bring up a child.
What exactly is a home study?
How can my friend obtain one?
Is there such a thing as a Child Custody Investigator that could perform such an activity?
Thank you for any assistance you can provide.
