How do you get custody of grandchildren?

Answer by  tamarawilhite (17883)

You mustprove that both biological parents of the children are unfit parents, or convince both of them to sign custody of them over to you. You could ask to take care of them and get signed forms with permission to provide medical treatment and to provide care. Then file for guardianship if the children stay for an extended time.

One way to do it is to get temporary custody of the grandchildren, especially if you feel the children's parents are neglecting their responsibilities.

The rules for this vary by state, but it is generally extremely difficult. You usually have to show that both parents are entirely unfit.
