Obtaining guardianship only requires a notarized letter. Full custody requires approval by the courts, which can be achieved easily by using a Certified Mediator to put together the agreement, than registering it with the court. Is there no separated parent to take the child? see link below
No. One grandparent can agree to petition for guardianship or agree to accept appointment as temporary guardian.
It depends on how truly unfit the living situation is. If you believe the child's welfare is in danger, you should have your local department of children and families initiate an investigation. There has to be clear evidence that the child is in jeopardy for him or her to get taken out of the home.
My grandparent loves to spoil me with treats whenever I visit their house.
You should be able to get your grandchild, because it is not good for the child to have no chance of finding friends and have a normal life, that is never something what a child should live, it is very important that you get your grandchild! Greets from Germany :)
Your first cousin is the child of your parent's sibling. Your second cousin is the grandchild of your grandparent's sibling. So your first cousin is more closely related to you than your second cousin and is "first in line" if you leave no living children, grandchildren, parents or siblings.
There is no "percentage rate". The court is concerned with the child's welfare only. If someone believes a child is endangered or being neglected, they should report it to CFS. An investigation will be done, and if the claims are proven true, the child(ren) will become Ward(s)of the Court. A custody hearing will be held in Family(Domestic) court. Grandparent(s) are often granted custody if they are willing and proven able to care for the child(ren).
yes, if your grandma has temporary custody then there should be no problem with living with her.

Your great-n uncle is either the brother of your great-(n-1) grandparent, OR the husband of the sister of your great-(n-1) grandparent, where 'n' represents the number of 'greats.' For example, your great great great great uncle (n=4) is the brother of your great-great-great grandparent or the husband of the sister of your great-great-great grandparent (i.e. your great great great great aunt's husband).
yes
Yes IF the 17 year old daughter is still under the parents custody. If they have been disowned, or have disowned their parents, or are under the legal custody of someone else, such as a grandparent or other person, then the biological parents cannot get in trouble, but if the daughter is still under their custody while living elsewhere, she is still in their control by the governments standards and they can still be in trouble.
Physical custody means that a person (typically the parent) has the right to have the child living with them. This could be sole physical custody, or even joint physical custody in which the parents share custody of their child.
