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 guardianship is appointed to grandparent and step grandparent if biological grandparent dies what right does the step grandparent have in North Carolina?

In North Carolina, if guardianship is appointed to a grandparent and a step-grandparent after the biological grandparent's death, the step-grandparent generally has the same rights as the biological grandparent concerning the care and custody of the child. However, their legal rights may depend on the specifics of the guardianship order and the court's determination of the child's best interests. It's important for the step-grandparent to be included in any legal documentation and to maintain a supportive relationship with the child to uphold their guardianship rights.

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.


Can a grandparent sue an ex son in law if he is not paying court ordered child support and the grandparent is paying for all of the childrens needs?

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.

What is Joint legal Custody and partial Physical Custody?

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.

I am currently pregnant and plan to raise my child alone. Can the father win joint custody of this child if he has another child whom he only has partial 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.
