This should be done in a court of law ... for everybodies protection. This prevents someone from later "claiming" that they had exclusive custodial rights at a certain age down the road in time. Do this legally and properly - you won't regret it and will have peace of mind that nobody can change it without your consent.

Another perspective

The grandparents need to petition the probate court to be appointed permanent guardians. A court order is necessary in order for them to have the legal right to make decisions for the child, enroll her in school, consent to medical treatment, etc. Schools and doctor's offices will ask for proof the grandparents have legal custody.

It will be easier with the father's consent. Otherwise the father will have the opportunity to object at the hearing and ask for custody himself. The court will appoint professionals to evaluate the situation and report their findings and recommendations back to the judge. The judge will render a decision.

A friend of mine wants to sign over her parental rights to her children to her ex husband and her mother because of all the drama and stress they are putting the children and her through. Does this mean that all child support can be dropped that she is paying and how does she go about it legally as she is in Texas and they are in Kentucky? We really need your help from someone! Thanks Frantic

In order for the grandparents to be appointed legal guardians both parents must agree and consent. If the mother doesn't consent the father cannot sign his own rights over to the grandparents.

Yes, but doing so will not relieve you of your support obligation.

That is a decision made by the court. A court can grant a partial or complete Termination of Parental Rights if the judge feels it is warranted for reasons other than said parent is relieved of his or her financial obligation to their minor child/children. Generally voluntary TPR's (those requested by a parent) are only granted when a child is being legally adopted.

Can a grandparent retain custody of their daughter's unborn baby if they have power of attorney over the daughter?

No, the girl has all rights to the child and once she has the child, she can get help from the state to raise her child or put it up for adoption. A grandparent can take the girl to court and try to get custody of the child, but the courts seem to favor the natural parent unless there is abuse.
