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.

Which Parent Rules?

My ex wants our son to go to private school, but I want him to go to public school. Who decides?

If both parents have joint legal custody, then they should consult each other on matters of major importance, such as which school the child should attend. But the parent that has primary physical custody is the one who has the final say.
