The other parent has filed a petition for joint custody. They want to have the right to be included in decisions regarding the child and perhaps want equal physical custody also. There will be a hearing. If you presently have sole custody and object to the other parent being awarded joint custody then you should consult with a attorney who specializes in custody issues who can represent you in the action.The other parent has filed a petition for joint custody.

If you are concerned about being granted custody of a child it would be best to speak to an attorney about the situation. Custody laws vary, depending on the state. A knowledgeable attorney could provide you with the relevant information and worthwhile advice.
Attorney misconduct in child custody cases can include unethical behavior such as withholding information, providing false evidence, or manipulating the legal process to the detriment of one party's interests. This misconduct can harm the well-being of the child and the fairness of the legal proceedings. It is essential to report any attorney misconduct to the relevant state bar association for investigation and potential disciplinary action.
Knowing someone being an attorney is not a conflict of interest. You can always get a different attorney if you want to.
Absolutely, you can fight for it. If the child is living with you, then you need to talk to an attorney about getting child support and maybe even custody of the child. I know there have been many cases where the grandmother, being the one the child lives with, has received child support, even if she doesn't have legal custody. She is still the one raising and supporting the child. This may vary from state to state, so you need to talk to an attorney about your situation. He or she will be able to advise you of your rights, and will let you know if they feel you have a good case. And, quite often, they will not charge you for the initial consultation, or only a very small fee. So if you are raising your grandchild with no financial support from either parent, you owe it to yourself and the child to try to get financial support.
If you are not divorced then both parents have equal rights regarding custody, decision making and control of the children. If a couple chooses to live apart one party must obtain a court order to get sole custody of the children. That party would need to convince the court the other parent is unfit and awarding sole custody to the moving party is in the best interest of the children. A husband would not be favored for sole custody simply on the basis of being a man. There must be extenuating and serious circumstances for the court to award custody to one parent. You should consult with an attorney in your jurisdiction who can review your situation and inform you of your rights.
Yes, they can under extremely narrow circumstances such as the mother being coerced to release the child for adoption. If notified of a challenge they should contact an attorney who specializes in custody and adoption issues immediately.
If you are not served with papers and you know about the pending case than you should contact a family law attorney to get you in the court and part of the custody. Its too complex to do it yourself. Retain an attorney.
