My daughter is keeping my grandson from me. I've provided food, shelter for him for at least a year or longer. Suddenly she says I can't see him anymore, he's up north in our state about 2 hours away with his step grandpa. He's not in school, he hasn't been in school for at least a week now. He's 5 years old. Now the mother says she's down in Ohio, so she pretty much abandoned him up north with other step family without school. What can I do to get visitation rights, if any?
You need to ask a local lawyer who knows MI law. In PA, a GP needs to have established a certain custody history or have certain circumstances happen in order to petition the court for visititation. You may meet that given the fact that A) you took care of him for one year and B) she abandoned him. You may have to file a petition in the county where the child is located. See a lawyer immediately.
