I need some advice for my in-laws. One parent of their minor grandchild is currently incarcerated. The other parent of this child could be going to jail soon as well. The parent that is "currently free" has issued temporary custody to the grandparents in the event that she does go to jail on November 15th. To complicate things, the 2 parents will be divorcing as soon as both of them are no longer incarcerated. The grandparents are anticipating moving to another state (Kentucky) within the next month because of a job transfer. The "currently un-incarcerated" parent knows about the move and is fine with it because she wants the child to be with the grandparents in the event that she does go to jail. An even further complication comes into play because the currently incarcerated parent will most likely get out of jail while the other parent is still in jail. At this point, can the newly released parent (who had no rights while he was in jail) file for custody of the child or charge the grandparents with some sort of "interference" because they have taken the child to a different state?
