Q: Appeal custody decision given to paternal grandmother in Colorado?
I am the maternal grandmother, and we are in an ongoing custody battle for my grandchildren. The judge has awarded emergency custody to the paternal grandmother. This decision was made because she had the children for three months after their parents asked her for temporary care while they got clean from drugs. The paternal grandmother refused to return the children even when the parents tried to get them back. I have been helping support the children throughout their lives. The children are five and one years old. Can I appeal the judge's decision while the proceedings are still ongoing, especially considering my involvement in the children's lives?
