In general, parents have total legal custody of children unless otherwise decreed by the court. A grandmother can only take custody of a minor child if so ordered by the court.
Here's a start CA Family Law Code
3040. (a) Custody should be granted in the following order of preference according to the best interest of the child (1) To both parents jointly the court shall consider, among other factors, which parent is more likely to allow the child frequent and continuing contact with the noncustodial parent, (2) If to neither parent, to the person or persons in whose home the child has been living in a wholesome and stable environment. (3) To any other person or persons deemed by the court to be suitable and able to provide adequate and proper care and guidance for the child. (b) choose a parenting plan that is in the best interest of the child.

Yes as long as that grand parent has a suitable income home close food and every thing to take care of some times if the parents are not suitable parents the grand parent can take them to court for custody with out the parents permission but if the mother and father agree than yes
Yes, if the court finds such an arrangement would be in the best interests of the child. The custodial parent would need to file for transfer or modification of custody, a hearing will be conducted and the judge will decide based on the outcome. Even if the biological father does not want the child, if he has been established as the legal parent, his permission would be required unless his parental rights had been involuntarily terminated by the courts.
It should be noted that if the judge finds that neither parent nor any biological relative would be suitable for legal custody, the child may be remanded to the custody of the state, placed in an agency or foster home and remain there until they reach the age of majority or a biological relative or interested party files for and is granted guardianship or adopts the child.
Probably not. It's legally possible for a grandmother to sue for custody if a child is being abused or neglected, but for anything short of that, courts tend to be quite reluctant to separate a child from his or her parents. "He's not happy" is pretty much a non-issue, legally speaking.
If the grandparent likes the child a lot to a point they can do what ever they want to do .
it depends how responsible the father is and how responsible the grandma is
The parties must have the consent of the father and file a petition for guardianship in the probate court. If the father does not consent there will be a hearing and he may request custody.
no.

no they can not
Can a father in wi. get temporary full custody if mother is homeless?
It's possible.
This question cannot be answered. There are simply too many facts about the situation that are not known.
In the United States, a fit mother will almost always win custody over a grandmother. There would need to be some other considerations for a grandmother to win.
Yes, a grandmother is a mother. A mother to her daughter. She is grandmother to her daughter's children.

The grandmother would need to gain legal custody before she can petition the court for monetary support. Unless the court terminated the rights of the mother she probably would be ordered to pay child support. A "letter" is not sufficient documentation for transferring the care of a child/children to another person even a family member. A petition must be made to the court for temporary or permanent custody under the guidelines of the state of residency laws. Schools will not allow a child to be enrolled unless it is by the parent, legal guardian. Then there is the issue of medical care, and the before mentioned support, either through public assistance or by the parent(s).

If your maternal grandmother is Jewish, her children are Jewish, including your mother, your mother's siblings, and all of your mother's children. If your paternal grandmother is Jewish and your maternal grandmother isn't, then you're not Jewish according to Torah-law.
Michael's mother, Katherine, has temporary custody right now. (Today--7/21/09). However, Michael's family is currently speaking with Debbie Rowe, the biological mother of two of Michael's children, regarding custody agreements. The court hearing to determine who gets custody of the children has been delayed twice because the two parties are trying to make a settlement outside of court. Also, in Michael's will, he named his mother as custodian of the children, followed by Diana Ross.
