How can Grandparents get Custody if mother is unstable and abusive to child in Georgia?
My stepdaughter is unstable and on drugs(pot) might be more drinks excessive ...keeps the child out all times of night. Among her drunken peers and potheads. Abuses the child all the time....she has no stable residents..she resides back and forth from the child's father house and the streets or car. And when she is at the father's house (child's father) she's thrown out or beaten all the time ..this has being going on 5 years and the child has to endure the roller coaster ride with the mother and the emotional and physical abuse.

Well you can petition the court and ask for guardianship however if the parents won't sigh giving you the guardianship it would be harder to get. Have you tried talking to the parents and ask them to sigh for you to have guardianship. Since it is your daughter inlaw and not your daughter it a be a little harder to get her to approve unless you both get along. For the sake of the child I would file for guardianship and have all witness's and any evidence you have of the abuse to show the court. My concern with this is why you do not want CPS involved The parents can fend for their seleves the child can't you cannot have it both ways you need to ask yourself what is more imporant the child or the parents. They don't seem to care about their child to straighten up thier act. Hoe would you feel if something happened to your granchild. Having guardianship does not mean you have to disown the parents. Leave the door open for them to come over and spend time if they chose to and clean up their act before coming over. Good luck to you I have been there.
