If the grandparents do not have legal permanent custody and the mother has proof she is the child's legal custodian, even if she has been absent in the child's life--yes, they can. If you believe the mother is unfit to care for the child or you have had physical custody for a long period of time with little or no contact from the mother, you can file an emergency appeal for custody with the courts. A temporary custody paper will not keep the child with you if she ever signed one as she can revoke it at anytime.

You want to gain custody of your child. Do you have to get a lawyer in the state where the child resides?
Generally, you must file for custody in the state where the child resides. You do not have to be represented by an attorney in order to file a petition for custody. However, since you would be asking the court to take legal custody from someone else, you need to present your case in the best light. You need expert assistance.Anyone who wants to gain custody of a child should be represented by an attorney who specializes in custody issues in the jurisdiction that has jurisdiction over that child. State laws and court practices vary from state to state. You need an attorney who knows the law and who is familiar with that particular court. That attorney can review the situation and explain your rights, options, and the likelihood of your gaining custody.
