Yes - but only if the father is the legal guardian of the child (and the mother is not, for whatever reason). He can forfeit his parental rights to the grandparents. However, if the mother is not in prison and is the other legal guardian, she would have to give up custody as well. Good luck to you.

∙ 12y agoThere must be a reason why the grandparents have legal guardianship. You would need to convince the court that the child would be better off with you and that you can provide a safe, stable environment where the child will be well cared for.
