Q: If my girlfriend has an open cps case against her parents can they give their parental rights to my grandmother?
She is 16, I am 17, and my grandma has already talked to the social worker and said that would work, but her parents just now decided they would go through with it and I dont know if they will hold onto that. So if they do then how long would it take before my girlfriend lives with my grandma? If they go back on it what can I do? We have tried absolutely everything and no matter what she or I do, the police, cps, everyone tells her that her parents can do what she wants.
A: No.
