Temporary custody of child of an unfit mother?

Question by rachkw81: Temporary custody of child of an unfit mother?
I participated in an intervention today with for a single mother who has a 2-year old son. She lives at home with her parents. This single mother refused help for her addiction, and her parents want to kick her out as a consequence. Yet, they do not want the mother to flee with the child, which would put the child in danger. They want to keep the child in their safe hands. Without any hard evidence, can the single mother’s parents file for temporary custody of their grandson? If not, what evidence would they need in order to successfully obtain custody of their grandson who is in danger when the mother is in her addiction?

Answer by Sarah
If the parents want a temporary guardianship, they can get an attorney and apply for that. There would be a whole investigation and it is terminable if circumstances change.
