Can my daughter give guardianship of her son to her boyfriend if I want my grandson? 7 Answers as of February 20, 2012
My daughter is getting ready to do some jail time and I want guardianship of my grandson while she is incarcerated. I heard she is going to give guardianship to her boyfriend and she knows I want to take care of him while she is gone. I feel that he would not do a good job of taking care of him. Can my daughter just let him have my grandson even though I want him. He is not his biological father.Free Case Evaluation by a Local Lawyer!

The key here is your statement that the boyfriend IS NOT the father. If this is true, you have a far greater chance in getting custody by filing your guardianship petition. Please meet with an experienced family law attorney to explore your legal options.

Guardianship is established by the Court, not by agreement. If you want guardianship of your grandson, you should file a guardianship case with the Court.

You can seek temporary guardianship without your daughter's permission. It will be up to the court to decide who cares for your grandchild in mom's absence.
