Can Grandparents Get Custody in a Divorce?

My son and daughter-in-law are getting divorced, and neither one of them is fit to be a parent to their infant child. Can I talk to the judge and see if my husband and I can get custody?

You need to hire a lawyer and file to intervene in the divorce on the grounds that both parents are unfit and that their unsuitability for parenthood has overcome their prima facie right to custody. You will also need to allege that you and your husband are fit and proper persons to have custody of the child. If the parents do not consent to your having custody, be prepared for a trial.
