Here we have to see if the parents were ever fit enough to keep her. There looks like the parents were either drug addicts , drunkards or abusive. That is why the grand daughter was kept with the grand mother. Now the child wants to go back must see if it is safe to send her back.
Here we must see the age of the grandma, if she is in her 80s then she is to ols and not at all fit to look after the child.
Only the courts can determine custody of a child, and custody can only be transferred after the child is born. At that time, the grandmother would be able to file for guardianship, not custody, as she is not the mother of the child. The mother would be allowed to testify if she was opposed to the action, and the court would make the final determination.
No. As the grandparent you have no rights to the child. But since she is not married to the father he will have to prove paternity with a DNA test if he wants parental rights such as custody, visitation and pay child support.
Mother files motion for custody
No. An unborn child can run all it wants. See discussion page for answers about "Can a pregnant woman run without harming her fetus?".
There should be a paternity test just to clarify things, than it can be done using a mediator. see links below
Father must petition for custody and court will weigh what situation is best for the child
Assuming the mother had custody, and parental rights, when she was arrested. She made the decision to turn over custody to her mother (grandma), who is now the temporary caregiver. In the eyes of the court, the grandma is the "guardian" of the child, and there is little you can do about it. Considering you are both a teenager and in a group home, a judge is not going to turn over parental rights to you. The judge's concern will be the best interest of the child, and the fact that the caregiver, at the time, turned over parental responsibility to a trusted guardian. In both concerns, the judge is going to choose the grandmother.

It is very rare that a Mother wants to give full custody of a child to the Father. To this all a Mother would have to do is choose to sign and give up her rights to the child in court.

If you live in the US... Children are not property and therefore cannot be 'willed'. You can state in your will who you would like to receive custody, but the court is not required to abide by it. For example, if Mom has custody of a child, she dies and her will states that she wants her sister to receive custody, but Dad wants custody...Dad gets custody, unless he can be proved unfit, because Dad has first legal right to custody (Mom's wishes don't change that).
