Can a grandparent gain custody without the parents' consent if the parents have left the child in their care since birth?
Yes, depending on how much time has passed and other factors. If the child has been abandoned the grandparents have a good chance of obtaining a permanent guardianship. They should consult with an attorney who specializes in custody issues.
Custodial parent has suddenly passed away Father with joint custody has tried to retrieve his children but the grandmother will not let him remove them from her house What can he do?
If the mother had primary residential, than the grandmother has a right to the children, but this not not preclude access rights. This is why this needs to be addressed in the custody decree. You may need to file a custody challenge to be granted primary residential. But, if you are being denied access, that's interference with custody, which could become a police matter.

Assuming the question relates to a child born out of wedlock, blood relations of the biological mother do not have more 'rights' to custody of a minor child than the biological father. In such cases, the court decides who shall retain permanent custody or joint custody of a minor. Generally the court will grant temporary custodial rights to the biological grandparents or the closest living relative of the biological mother assuming such person(s) qualifies for guardianship.
How can you get custody of your gran-daughter if her father has passed away and her mother has no permanent address and is addicted on pills?
First problem is whether they were married, and if not, did he ever establish parental rights. Single fathers have no assumed rights in the US. If not, you have no standing in the court to file for custody. Beyond that, if you have standing, what you would be filing is a Child In Need of Care motion. I would suggest contacting the grandparents group. see link I'm sorry about your lose.

Benefits of Family Attorneys?
Parents are not the only ones who might face child custody disputes. Many grandparents also want to ensure their rights to visitation or gaining custody of grandchildren are protected by the courts. Every state grants some rights to grandparents for custody or visitation, although these rights are not granted in the Constitution. State legislatures have passed these laws in recent years, and some could be challenged by federal legislation that supersedes state laws. In 2000, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the statute in the state of Washington violated to due process rights that parents have in raising their children. Therefore, it is best to seek advice from a family law attorney if you wish to receive visitation rights. How Child Visitation Rights are Granted to Grandparents by the Courts Each state allows grandparents to seek visitation rights, since the Supreme Court did not rule that the visitation law in Washington was unconstitutional. Grandparents’ rights are considered a privilege that only slightly imposes on the parents’ right to control how their children are raised. In order to weigh the decision to grant visitation rights to grandparents, many states give high esteem to a fit parent’s decision-making concerning a child. Help from a family attorney will provide insight to the laws in your state. What to Do Before Seeking Visitation Rights There are situations where your visitation rights as a grandparent can be resolved without court involvement. A family law attorney can also assist you with this process. Mediation is often a viable option where a neutral third party will help you and your grandchild’s parents come to an amicable, legally binding solution. Factors That Determine Visitation or Custody Rights of Grandparents Every court is looking for what is the best interest of the child when considering a grandparent’s right to visitation or custody. Certain conditions have to be met according to state statutes before visitation or custody rights are granted to grandparents. The conditions will vary depending on whether you are seeking visitation rights or custody. A family attorney can explain those conditions prior to filing a petition with the court. These factors are an interpretation of the state statutes related to the case. The physical and emotional needs and safety of the child are considered. If the child is capable of making decisions, the wishes of the child are also considered. Courts also look at whether grandparents can meet a child’s needs.
