Unless the father is deemed unfit the court will favor him for full custody if he wants full custody.The court would require the father's consent to the appointment of the grandmother as legal guardian. If the father refuses to consent and requests custody then she must petition the probate court for guardianship. She must provide compelling evidence that the father is unfit and her guardianship would be in the best interest of the child. The court would appoint a guardian ad litem to study and evaluate the situation and report back to the judge. The grandmother must show that although she thinks the child would be better off living with her, she knows the child should have a good relationship with her father and she will do everything in her power to encourage that parent-child relationship. The judge would render a decision after hearing all the testimony and reviewing the report of the guardian ad litem. This is a serious situation and the grandmother mother should consult with an attorney who specializes in custody issues.
