If we had custody of my husbands 14yr. old when she had her baby, who had custody of the baby? Did we? And if we gave custody of the 14yr. old to her Biological Mom, would we need to give custody of the baby also? This is in Ohio
Update:O.K. 14 yr. old lost all rights to baby, the 14yr. olds Mother now has custody, we are in a custody battle for the baby who is now 4yr's old. The Grandmother had 4 girls who were raised by their Fathers or foster homes. The Grandmother was also charged with neglect at one time. But, this is becoming a battle over the child. How can the Grandmother have a leg to stand on with her past history? What can we do? We have a very stable life, great income, beautiful home, etc.. The Grandmother has moved 5 times (at least) in the past 3 years, has a new guy living with her every couple months, lives on welfare, hangs out in bars all the time, passes the child around like a puppy. The little girl still wets her pants and has a big problem with biting. What can we do? We were hoping that someone would have told us that we would have had to sign over baby when we signed over 14yr. old. We signed over 14 yr. old because her Mother had her convinced that we could not tell her anything and she could
Update 3:do as she pleased and she did...she ran away with baby several times, she would sneak out in the middle of the night, she hit our other kids, did drugs, threatened us, threatened our baby (he is 2 months older than her daughter), we called the police, children services, had her in counseling, she even hit her own Dad and tried to push him down a flight of stairs. It was like nobody would help us, so we finally signed her over to her Mom, to protect the other kids. At her Moms she just ran completely wild! Was arrested fo drinking, stealing a car, breakin in to a business, fighting, drugs. So her Mother obtained custody of baby, without anyone notifing us,(they lived in another county). Can anyone tell me what to do? We have a lawyer, but it's like he is to busy with his realestate to do his job right. I have been the one to do the research, get court documents, police reports, etc.. We haven't even talked to a Judge yet, it is always in the Grandmothers Attorneys office. What can we do

the mother of the baby has custody. it is HER BABY. unless she gives up her parent rights in court, you can't say/do anything. you must prove first that she is an unfit mother. and let me tell it is not easy convincing a judge a mother is unfit.
His probabilities of being named the most important custodian don't seem to be well within the shared custody if all what you are saying is correct. He could also be searching for shared custody due to the fact that he's making plans on soliciting for little one aid from you. It feels like you're the bread winner and he could also be after aspect of your cash. If he will get a role then he much less to argue with to get little one aid. If you'll be able to get evidence that he's bodily competent of running and simply faking the harm or incapacity your legal professional can make certain the pass judgement on is aware of that. Push for the entire custody and the each different weekend.
the 14 year old has custody of her own baby, unless you went to court and were granted temp. guardianship!
the minor mom has custody of her own child and is legally responsible for him
none of you...14 year olds with babies!...neither has been or will be good parents... there is the proof!
