They can try but they will not win unless you are unsuitable parents. Some states have laws regarding grandparents rights to see their grandchildren so they can win visitation right if you are in such state.
Depends on why and how long the grandparents have had the child and why they have not applied for legal custody. They do not have more legal rights to the child than the mother. Consult a lawyer who is familiar with your state laws.
Yes. Grandparents are often awarded custody of grandchildren when they are neglected or their parents are unable to provide a safe, stable environment. The grandparents should seek the advice of an attorney who specializes in custody issues. They would need to petition the probate court to be appointed legal guardians. It is much easier if the parents will consent. Otherwise, the grandparents will need evidence and testimony of profesionals. The court will appoint a guardian ad litem to make an evaluation of the situation and report back to the judge.

They can get guardianship with the approval of the court, plus child support from both parents.
In certain circumstances, yes they can. If the court thinks it is appropriate.
Yes, if the other parent (who has parental rights) consents and it's a suitable arrangement. The grandparent would become the legal guardian.
Yes, a grandparent, or another relative, can apply for guardianship if the parents' rights have been terminated or with the consent of the parents.
Yes.
File a claim of child abandonment and for custody. see links below
With the facts given...the mother is the one that would qualify under the tests, especially the support and residence ones. Which without, the grandparents don't qualify to claim the child in any case.
The child was living in the house with permission. Permissive use is a bar to any claim of adverse possession. I assume the property is owned by a second child.
Only if the child is living with her and she has rightful custody. If the child isn't living with her or she has no right to him it would be considered fraud since she isn't supporting him in anyway.
Just because the child is not living with the mother doesn't mean that the mother is not footing the child's expenses, she may be sending money to the grandmother (and if she's not she'll probably claim she is!).
If he was responsible for over 50% of the cost of the child, he can claim the child as a dependent. That would mean that no one else was entitled to claim the child, including the father and mother.
none see link below for other options
To claim a child as a dependent on your taxes, the child must have lived with you and you must have provided support for over 50% of the year. So the mother in this case can claim her grandson on her taxes if she supported the child for at least 183 days out of the year, regardless of whether or not the mother of the child owes back child support.
Only if he's included in the claim.
Usually if you are paying fifty percent or more of the living needs of the child, you can declare the child. Check with a tax service to be sure. IRS rules are the child must reside with a parent at least 51% of the time to claim them on taxes.
If she's kept the claim current.
Yes. If the child lives with her and is under 18.
