Can parents lose custody if both are on prescription narcotics and do not keep the children with them?
Yes, if the parents do not "keep" their child with them that implies they leave the child with someone else. That someone else could petition the court for a legal guardianship and gain legal custody of the child. That would be in the best interest of the child and the person with whom the child lives should have legal custody.Yes, if the parents do not "keep" their child with them that implies they leave the child with someone else.

How do you give full custody of your child to a friend of the family who lives in the U.S.?
A parent can only give a friend or relative temporary custody of a child (meaning three months or less). If one wishes to have someone take full permanent custody of their child, the parent needs to relinquish custodial rights and the accepting adult needs to apply for legal guardianship through prescribed legal methods. The other option is obviously relinquishing parental rights so the child can be adopted. The legal process is quite different however if the child is not a U.S. citizen.

Do both the mother and father have to pay child support if grandmother has custody?
Unfortunately, you still have to pay if these are her grandparents. It is up to the grandparents to suggest to her that she pay something towards the children. If they are your grandparents then they can seek legal council and demand she too pay child support. If she is living with the grandparents and raising your child then it is solely up to the grandparents to decide if they foot the bill or she does. Sorry. Marcy
