Legal Custody is different than Parental rights. The courts decides child visitation, etc. and parents could pay child support to grandparent. It is all up to the courts..

Only the courts can grant custody/parental rights. In general, parental rights are terminated either preparatory to an adoption, or after a trial in which it is determined that the parent is unfit. In any case, termination of parental rights does not, in itself, terminate child support.
Parents usually have to pay for their child even if it is the state that has custody. The child is taken away and parental rights terminated in order to protect the child. If you want your parental rights back and custody you will have to turn to the court.
The courts will determine who gets custody of the child. The courts will consider what is in the best interest of the child.
You petition the court to modify the custody order.

It's hard but it is possible in some circumstances. Parents have a legal right to custody (visitation) of their child, but if a parent is not fit to have custody the courts will terminate their parental rights. Generally the situation must be extreme, as in an actual threat to the well being of the child, for the courts to terminate any parental rights.
If the courts grant legal custody, the custodian shouldn't have to pay child support.
Parental Custody is whoever the child lives with. Joint custody is when a child lives part time with both parents or when each parent shares in raising the child. They make decisions together.
