The father would need to petition the court for the termination of parental rights. Such a request is generally granted only when a child is to be legally adopted by a new spouse or person(s) approved by the court.
A parent will not be granted a TPR decree if the reason is to be relieved of his or her financial obligations in the matter.

What does my son do if his girlfriend got arrested and they have a baby he is on a 24-hour home pass and wants to pick up his baby from grandma?
Assuming the mother had custody, and parental rights, when she was arrested. She made the decision to turn over custody to her mother (grandma), who is now the temporary caregiver. In the eyes of the court, the grandma is the "guardian" of the child, and there is little you can do about it. Considering you are both a teenager and in a group home, a judge is not going to turn over parental rights to you. The judge's concern will be the best interest of the child, and the fact that the caregiver, at the time, turned over parental responsibility to a trusted guardian. In both concerns, the judge is going to choose the grandmother.
