What if my grandmother wont return my child?

Unless your grandparents went to court and obtained an order giving them custody of the child, they are acting unlawfully by keeping your child from you. While you cannot force them to bring the child to you, you can go to the police and ask them to help you retrieve your child if he is being unlawfully kept from you.

Can a grandparent withhold a child from a parent?

If your partner refuses to return the child then your only option is to apply to the family court for a custody order. The police generally cannot get involved until the court makes such an order since both parents have equal rights to the child until the court says otherwise.

What is the grandparent to grandchild exclusion in California?

Proposition 193 The exclusion applies only to real property transfers between eligible grandparent and grandchildren, not legal entities. In order to qualify, all the parents of the grandchild must be deceased as of the date of purchase or transfer.

Which states have grandparents rights?

Even though a grandparent may gain custody of a child, the childs parents will retain parental rights. This is especially true if both parents are still alive. Unless the parents consent to give up their custody rights, a grandparent may need to show that both parents are unfit to have custody of a child.
