[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 604257, member: 1550"] In most states, grandmothers don't have any visitation rights in a divorce. I don't know about how it goes if it's not a divorce situation, but your grandson has lived with you for a long time. I really think it's a longshot that they would take custody from his mother and give it to you because she is lazy...and I also think this is unfortunate because it gives her a way to sit on her buttocks and make you keep her with you, if you are unwilling to part with your grandson too. I'm not sure about what advice to give you. I'd be fuming if a daughter that age sat around without working. One thing you can do is not give her a dime. You can buy things for your grandson, but de-fund her cell phone, her car insurance, any use of the internet, junk food that she doesn't need or any other luxuries that she should be paying for herself. You don't need to cook for her either. She should be learning to cook for herself. As for clothes, same thing. Whatever you are buying her, stop. And once she gets a job charge her rent, even if it's only $100 month. She'll never find an apartment that cheap. She may get tired of not having anything and actually go to work. [/QUOTE]
