Custody laws depends on the country where you reside. Generally, between 7-10 years old and below, the custody belongs to the mother, unless there are other compelling reasons which can invalidate this claim like immorality, infectious disease, negligence, etc. This will be a long case battle and will be costly. So i highly suggest that you let them settle instead for visitation rights to avoid this expense. You don't need a lawyer to decide what is best for the kids. So let the couple talk now.

i don't know how it works for your country, but in here in the Philippines, if we can't afford a lawyer, we have this office we call Public Attorney's Office that you can go. I highly suggest you go to your local government unit and ask. This is the future of your grandchild, so help them get this straightened out right away.
