What is the name of your state? california
I don't know what to do or where to turn, or if I even have any rights. My grandson lives with his unfit mother and his great-grandmother, the mother is 19 and does not take care of her son at all, mabe around 1hr a day if anything, she is always gone with her fiancee, or friends. She leaves the taking care up to the great grandmother. I also have my grandson 3 days out of the week, it use to be more but the great grandmother told the mother to limit our time with him. The great grandmother acts more like the mother than the actual mother. My grandson loves being with us, he cries when we take him home, I feel he is not being cared for the way he should be, he has hydrocephalus and they smoke around him, they use drugs in the house, alcohol and it is just a very unsafe neighborhood, and not a very good environment. He is 1 yr and 8 months. My son is in prison and will be there for around 1 yr. and a few months more. They don't even call my grandson by his real name, because it is the same as his dads and they don't like him, why? I guess just because he is the dad. They have a hatred for men or fathers, the greatgrandmothers husband left her and her kids a long time ago. Its hard to explain these people, you would have to see them to understand. To them my grandson only belongs to them and not the father, he has no rights. The mother may be getting married to he new boyfriend, who is also a parolee, gang member. And I don't feel he also should be around my grandson. My question is can I get joint-guardianship of my grandson? I know the mother will not agree with that, and especially the great grandmother ( who is also an ex-parolee, drug offender) I don't know what to do, but it breaks my heart every time I have to take my grandson home. I want him with me, and I don't know what to do, or if I even have a chance in court. Im afraid if I go to court and lose, my grandsons mother with take all visitations away from me. Even though she doesn't take care of my grandson at all, she will do it to get back at me, and because her grandmother tells her to. What can I do? she is unfit and so is my grandson's living environment, and I don't know how to prove it, please help?
