dad has warrents mom is in prison im maternal gma what can i do 2 get them do i have rights
A: You - or more accurately, the parents of these kids are in a pickle. Assuming Dad has established legal custody, he and the mother could consent to you being the guardian. That actually might be a really good idea for both of them, because if Dad goes to jail or prison, and Mom is already locked up, a petition could be filed seeking termination of their parental rights. But no, Dad cannot legally do this with Mom knowing.
