Q: Couple of questions
I have a couple of questions so I’ve been having a lot of issues with the babies father and his family . I plan on going to court soon but i am wondering what my chances would be in court . On his side of the family his mother has threatened for grandparent rights but has barely seen her grandchild due to the father not bringing her up there as much as he barely sees our daughter as is . However his mother has a fentanyl patch that falls off when it wants to she has it prescribed by a dr . Would that patch affect her ability to win grandparents rights in court . As for next question if the father and my son 2 years old live as mass residents but the father grows marijuana in their basement can that affect his ability for custody ? i am also aware that he brings our son on rides where he exchanges weed to his friends and people who want to buy it off him and my son is in the backseat . Would that affect his ability for custody’s as well ? Me and my daughter live here in ct
A:
You didn't say what you are going to court for. Is there a custody order in place now and you are trying to modify it or there is no court orders yet and you are going to court for the first time.
Grandparents can not get custody in CT unless they meet very stringent requirements. If the grandmother has not seen your child very much she has already failed at any chance for custody.
If your child is a Mass. resident then the case is a Mass. case not a CT case. You would have to bring your court motion in Mass.
