In New Zealand can grandparents demand visitation or custody when there is no abuse or parental problems?
No. There are no such direct legal rights that benefit grandparents. The sole authority of a parent over their own child should always be paramount in the law. No other person can be allowed to break that right without just cause. Grandparents can report cases of abuse or neglect. They can attend the family group conference when allegations of abuse or neglect are being evaluated. They can petition for an order of guardianship if the case progresses to family court. They have no right to demand visitation rights or custody when there is no abuse or other problem present. See related link.

Yes and no. He had only one biological father, Barack Obama Senior, but his father was rarely in his life. After his mother and father divorced, his mother re-married, so the young Barack got a step-father. But his step-father, while acknowledged as being a good person who was kind to his step-son, did not adopt him, and there is no evidence that Barack thought of him as a father. Rather, he seems to have regarded his maternal grandfather and grandmother, who helped to raise him, as very much like his parents.

How do you regain primary custody after giving temporary custody to the grandparents?
If it was the court that awarded the grandparents temporary custody there must have been a reason. If the court considered you not to be a "fit" parent at the time you may have to offer convincing evidence that you are NOW a fit parent. File a motion with the court to regain custody of the child(ren). If the custody was ruled only 'temporary' the court realizes that it is not necessarily permanent situation.Generally when a person says they gave temporary custody to grandparents they actually mean to say they consented to the appointment of the grandparents as temporary guardians. The appointment is then made by the court. In that case the parties must return to court to terminate the guardianship order and the court will hear testimony to make certain the change is in the best interest of the child.
If a child is in state custody can parent sign over parental rights to a family member?
The court will require that both biological parents be in agreement to relinquishing custodial rights to a qualified related person. In some cases (such as military deployment) the court will accept a signed and witnessed affidavit by the non present parent. A parent(s) cannot arbitrarily consent to permanent custody of a minor child to a relative, family friend, etc. Temporary custody (generally 90 days or less) can be done legally as long as the proper procedures are followed. The prescribed court procedures for the state in which the minor child resides must be followed if the minor child is to be permanently removed from parental custody. If such action is granted by the court the biological parent(s) may still be required to pay child support, obtain medical insurance and other financial needs of the child.
