Grandprents generally do not have rights to a grandchild if the child has 2 parents in the child's life. A judge may grant some grandparent time but only if it does not interfer with the parents visitation times and the child's development time (such as school).
In this society, children are very busy and go from parent to parent so much that it is hard for a judge to grant any time.
This really is something that you need to talk to the parents of the child about. Remember, your grandchild already has parents. These parents need to do their jobs. It is not up to the grandparents to step in unless there is a very good reason.
If you have full custody ordered by a judge then you automatically have the same rights as the parents. you must agree with them on any decision made about the child ie which school they attend but it doesnt mean that they decide. everything has to be agreed between the parties. if it cant then you must go back to court. also depends on what rights the parents have and if any rights where taken away ie neglect,drugs etc.if this is the case then you have complete and over ruling rights apart from a judge.you must however make sure that you abide by contact arrangments etc otherwise your rights may be revoked. hope this helps..xx

No. They have no automatic "right" to custody. However, if the parents are deemed to be unfit the grandparents can petitionto be appointed the legal guardians. The court will review the situation and render a decision based on the best interest of the child.
Yes
I don't see how the parent not paying child support play any role in custody for the grandparents. If the parents are found unfit the grandparents have a chance for custody just like other relatives do. The biological parents are still the ones paying child support. Not being able to pay child support does not make you a unfit parent.
You have the right to file for a change of custody with the court. You will have to present convincing evidence that the child's mother is unfit to retain custody of the child. Frankly: It is a stiff burden of proof to overcome to convince the court to remove a child from its mother's custody.
The person with full custody has the right to have the child live with them permanently and has the right to make all decisions regarding the child without interference.
By determining that the right of a parent to primary custody of the child supersedes the best interest of the child.
Joint legal custody indicates that both parents have the right to make joint decisions on the raising of a child (education, health care, etc.). If there are conflicts in such decisions then it is only applicable if such disagreements are reasonable in the eyes of the court. If they are deemed "unreasonable" then the parent with primary physical custody or the court makes such determinations. Partial physical custody, indicates that the child spends a portion of his or her time (specified or otherwise) with the parent (weekends, holidays, summer vacation, etc.) but resides the majority of time with the primary custodial parent.
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.
Not if you do not have legal physical custody. The school would not have any right to release the child to you if the other parent has sole physical custody.Not if you do not have legal physical custody.

The father has as much legal right to the child as you do. You cannot simply choose to raise the child alone if the father has a desire to be involved in the child's life. As long as the courts don't find him to be a danger to the child, he will at least be awarded visitation and at most partial custody. In regards to the other child, the judge will definitely take that into consideration. If he can show that he's providing good quality care to the other child, it will stand as proof that he is qualified to raise a child. If the quality of care he's providing is poor, it might hinder his case. It's entirely up to a judge.
Generally, the person who has legal custody or legal guardianship of the child has right to the child's medical records. A parent who does not have legal custody is not entitled to the child's medical records. Generally, they would need a court order to obtain them.Generally, the person who has legal custody or legal guardianship of the child has right to the child's medical records.

If the question of paternity is raised concerning a child support issue. The court will order a paternity test taken (usually DNA). The person disputing the child support order has the right to request the court to allow this action.
