If this is court ordered.

Mother files motion for custody
For example, a Stanford study of 1,000 divorced couples selected at random found that divorcing mothers were awarded sole custody four times as often as divorcing fathers in contested custody cases. A study of all divorce-custody decrees in Arlington County, Virginia over an 18 month period found that no father was given sole or even joint custody unless the mother agreed to it. According to Frank Bishop, the former director of the Virginia Division of Child Support Enforcement, almost 95% of custody cases in Virginia were won by mothers.
Provided it does not interfere with the scheduled access rights of the other parent.
Women became more likely to win custody of children after a divorce
The parents have assumed joint custody.
You divorce and get custody over your kids or just get full custody!
no
He/she can't. Only the parents can change custody.
You have the visitation rights that were established in the divorce, and you have no custody rights.
Well that would depend on if you were the biological grandfather. If so then the grandchild is also your grandchild. If the child was born to a child of your ex-wife and not fathered by you then they are no relation to you and you would call them by their name.
Custody rulings have nothing to do with who files for the divorce first.
Priscilla did.
YES, IF YOU ARE GOING THROUGH A DIVORCE, YOU NEED TO ASK FOR CUSTODY AS PART OF THE DIVORCE SETTLEMENT. THIS WOULD BE THE BEST TIME TO DO IT BECAUSE IF SOCIAL SERVICES ALREADY TOOK THE CHILDREN FROM THE MOTHER , THE JUDGE WOULD EASILY GRANT YOU CUSTODY THE CHILDREN.
In a divorce, the other spouse has to be notified of the motion for divorce, and they also have to be notified of your intention to sue for custody fo the children. So, no, it's not possible to be granted a divorce or custody of the children without the other spouse being notifiied of the intent.
That should be expressed in the custody orders.
Ordinarily, a trial court will enter "temporary orders" for custody, visitation, and child support, while the divorce is pending.
