Well as far as the father getting custody of his children the law always gives the other parent the right for custody,if they can't or don't want custody then the grandparents or a family member can file for custody. That courts will not likely over rule that custody to give to the grandparents from the father. (Grandparents Rights In Tennessee) It's only natural for a grandparent to want to be a part of their grandchild's life-to watch them grow,and to see that they are being raised well. However,if a parent who is fit to raise a child doesn't want the grandparent to see the child,for whatever reason,there is little that the grandparent can do legally. BUT IF-their son or daughter dies unexpectedly,leaves or becomes unfit to care for the child, and the grandparents do have options available. If it can be established that there has been"significant relationship" between the grandparent and grandchild,then they can be awarded certain visitation rights.
