The same as with a parent, except she should than file for support against both parents.

The court would have to award you custody.
A paternal grandmother with permanent custody of her grandchild is considered a family member rather than a parent. While she may have assumed the role of a parent by providing care and custody, her legal status is that of a grandparent.
FOR MY OPINON NO BECAUSE GRANDMOTHER IS BLOOD AND ELDERLY AND HALF SISTER IS IN BY MARRIAGE SO YOU DON'T COME IN A FAMILY AND DISREPECT ELDERLY If the half-sister is the mother of the grandchild, or has legal custody of the grandchild through other means, she may have the authority to stop the grandmother fro seeing her grandchild, depending on whether the state in which the grandchild lives has laws establishing grandparents' rights.
The husband of a grandmother is often the grandfather. In general, however, grandparents do not have rights to a grandchild unless the parents are dead or legally incapacitated and the grandparents are the closest competent relatives. Even then, a court must first assign custody to the grandparents, it does not come automatically.
Not necessarily. The grandmother will have to either contact Child & Family Services and/or the court to be awarded legal custody of the child.
The mother can still have sole legal and physical custody when the father is awarded visitations. Custody and visitations are separate matters. The mother would be required to obey the visitation schedule.
no
The father can file for it himself. It's every parents right even if they are minors.
It is a term that has the same meaning as primary physical custody meaning the person so awarded has the child or children living with them the greater percentage of time.
If awarded joint physical custody.
It is highly unlikely that a grandmother would be given custody just because the father lives out of state. If there are other factors such as abuse by the father then, possibly, but not certainly. The court would look at the case carefully and decide what is best for the child
If father was awarded custody before and his circumstances have not changed, unless the mother's situation has improved dramatically the father has a good chance of maintaining custody.
