[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 654982, member: 1550"] Legally your daughter has to take him to court so a formal change of custody and mandated child support happens. Informal arrangements won't protect this child. My son went through a custody battle last year and it's costly and time consuming if u know ex is abusing grandson maybe u can offer to help pay. There will need to be a paper trail of abuse by ex and how he treats your daughter doesn't factor in. It's about the child and his best interests. I hope your daughter took pictures and brought him to doctors. Her word won't matter as in custody matters it is common for abuse to be alleged. Without proof it doesn't matter. My son's ex tried it all. It was untrue. She obviously had no proof. After a GAL and therapist, both chosen and court ordered but paid for by the parties, everyone agreed that my son retain his 50/50 custody. She was trying to get full custody and lost. Son and grandson adore each other. This was a horrible year. But we found out that you need a court ordered investigation and that this is how u go about securing custody. It is very difficult for grandparents to get custody unless the court finds both parents unfit. Sounds discouraging I know but without court ex can change his mind and take son back at any time. Informal agreements don't hold up. Please...get a lawyer and take ex back to court and hope for the best. [/QUOTE]
