What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Missouri
My daughter is incapacitated with a traumatic brain injury from a car accident. She is recovering but slowly. My wife and I have guardianship of her, her newborn son, and 8 year old son. Our daughter has lived in and out of our home, but the 8 year old has lived with us full time since he was 3 months old. His father contacted us after reading of the accident on social media and now wants custody of his son. The father has not seen the 8 year old since the boy was 2. Missouri courts seem to lean toward the parents and since the father "says" now that he is willing and able the courts might decide to take away our grandson. We are the only family he knows and I want very much to keep him with his mother, new brother, and of course with us. We have an attorney but still feel lost. Any advice?
