No, they cannot. If they have removed the child from a dangerous situation they must immediately request a temporary guardianship from the court. The court can grant a temporary guardianship but will initiate the process for a permanent order during which the court will hear testimony from witnesses and petitioners and render a decision.

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.
How do you go about taking tax right from non custodial parent?
Failure to file/pay taxes is a federal crime and can result in prison time if taxes are not paid or intent to defraud the federal government or tax evasion is proven after prosecution.

A grandparent was granted temporary custody of my son. Will that effect my child support payment from the father?
Yes. The payments should be turned over to the person who has legal custody. Child support should have been addressed at the time the guardianship was granted to the grandparent. If that was not done, the child's father needs to go to court to have the support order modified so he can pay the grandparent. If that happens you may be required to pay back any money you accepted when the child was not in your custody. You should review the court order that transferred legal guardianship to the grandparent. If you still have questions you should visit the family court and ask to speak with an advocate. You need to avoid future problems that may arise if you spend child support that you are not entitled to receive.
Do you still pay child support if the child is not in school?
Until he or she is 18 years old or until a court of law makes a legal order stating otherwise.

Any grandparent(s) who are the primary caregivers for their grandchildren or any child of the family and not living in the same residence as the children's parents is entitled to be reimbursed for the care of those children. To be eligible for such support the grandparent must be able to show the court that the caregiving of the children is done from necessity and not just a "family matter". Or the grandparent(s) may file a petition for custody if that has not yet been done, if custody is granted, child support will be ordered as well.

When a child is being kept by the grandparent is the grandparent's income used when calculating the father's child support payments?
The parents are responsible for child support, not the grandparents. If the grandmother has legal custody the child support payments should go directly to her via a court order. All states in the US have child support guidelines, based on income and other factors, that must be used to calculate what the non-custodial parent(s) must pay.It should be noted that if the child lives with her grandparent that grandparent is already contributing to the child's support above and beyond the payments made by the parent(s). Child support payments rarely amount to enough to completely support the child.
