yes he should do
The mother. If she dies, her parents get custody.
the father gets the custody of the child if the mother dies
If the daughter has been found to be a unfit mother along with the father of your grandchild, he can apply for custody but so can you. Otherwise the child will end up in foster care or with another relative, maybe on the fathers side. If however the teen parents have no problems the court would not give him custody. Teen parents have at 16 the same rights to their child as adults do.
you get it for her.
If he is legally the father he has a chance, of course. It's up to the judge. He has to petition the court for custody.
The extent of a parent(s) custody rights are determined by a court order. The ideal situation is for both parents to reach a workable, amicable decision. The time that is spent with a parent does not necessarily indicate sole or joint custody.
If you live in the US... The father's parents have no rights to custody at all. The father has the right to petition for custody, but he won't be given sole custody unless he can prove the mother unfit. He might, however, be given joint custody.
If you have joint legal custody then you will need the father to sign paperwork to get a passport for your daughter to leave the country. If she already has a passport and your trip out of the country does not interfere with his visitation then you have every right to take you daughter anywhere you want to take her:-)
If both parents agree to that he should have custody, yes. The parents decide where she will live until she is 18yo. If this is a permanent solution they have to go to court and change custody and the child support order so it's paid to the father. Many parents and teens clash during the teen years and sometimes it's good to have some time apart. Get a perspective on things.
If you have Joint Legal Custody, then neither parent can physically change residences without the approval of the other. If, per the question, the daughter is living with the father, or the father has "primary" custody, then you can move wherever "you" want, at least in my perception.
O9nly if he has primary custody, or family is intact.
