Not a fit dad
The father is trying to prove paternity but is an unfit parent. He has two children that live with him now and he collects benifits from the state for them. He has a third child that he is paying back child support on. He is normally unemployed and is a drug user. He has no transportation and has not been with me through out this pregnancy. He is only seeking this child to increase his state funded benefits. My mother on the other hand is financialy stable, has transportation, is not seeking state assistance or assistance from him. She would be able to take care of the child and is not in bad health. My mother is only 3 years older than the father. He would only contest it to try and collect child support from me or my mother. What are the chances of him taking my child from my mother?

I would say the chances are pretty darn good that he will win custody if you opt to give that child to someone else. The reason for this is by giving the child to your mother you are "showing cause" for the courts to review the case. If he establishes himself and is the father he would be entitled to the custody of that child.
The statements you made are just allegations made by you until you can prove otherwise. Do you have evidence? Not just what others tell you? Have you reported him to Social Services? If so what came from it? Was it unfounded? You mother could attempt third party custody but if the father wants the child, and you are showing cause that you do not intend on keeping it...the chances are slim. Sorry. :(

Not giving sole coustody to the grandmother just temporary guardianship .these are not allagations these are things I know for a fact that I have walked in on which are the reasons I am not with him now. Yes he has been reported I do not know what came from it. I would never give my child away. I just do not want him in an unsafe environment. I am not trying to take away his rights he can still see the child I just dont want the child to live with him. I want the child in a safe environment. The father does not provide that. I repeat I am not giving away my child she will have guardianship of the child for about 6 months but I will retain coustody.
Like I stated before...is he established as the father? Does he have visitation? If he does...then you need to seek legal counsel because you will more than likely not be able to give "Guardianship" temporarily to her. I am sure there is a loop hole, but you will need cousel.
