First problem is whether they were married, and if not, did he ever establish parental rights. Single fathers have no assumed rights in the US. If not, you have no standing in the court to file for custody. Beyond that, if you have standing, what you would be filing is a Child In Need of Care motion. I would suggest contacting the grandparents group. see link

My grandaughter's mother died and her side of the family are denying my son access and have applied for custody. Would this have to go to court?

WikiAnswers does not answer questions of a legal nature, and as such does not practice law. Custody rights are decided by Courts, so I would hire a lawyer. BUT before that, I would inquire as to WHY they are denying your son visitation rights with your grandaughter.

Yes, definitely as temporary custody is for the period the matter is pending. And final custody is the final order while disposing the case.

You need to go to court and file an ex parte motion (emergency custody) and you may be granted temporary custody based on the same. To retain permanent custody, you would need to file a petition based on the same, wait for the hearing and participate in the subsequent investigation, then the judge will decide whether or not to award permanent custody to you, another party or remand the children back to the custody of the state.
