VerifiedWhere is the father in all of this?
What province is this?
What province is this?
If this matter were to go to Court the Court would make it's decision based on what it determines to be in the best interests of the child.
If you prove that your daughter is not fit at this point in time then a Court could determine that it's best for the child to be with since the father is not available to parent the child.
But there is no way that I can determine myself what your chances are at this point.
You would need to consult face to face with a family lawyer who would analyze the facts and evidence and that provide you with some legal advice based on the facts.
What you can do to find a lawyer is one of the following things.
You can contact the Law Society and use their Lawyer Referral Service. You will be given the name of a lawyer and can consult with the lawyer and the first half hour will be free.
The number is:
1-800-268-8326 or(NNN) NNN-NNNN(within the GTA)
Or you can check on a site called lexpert. This is a legal directory of leading lawyers and law firms throughout Canada and is well-respected by the legal community.
Here's the link to their website:

But just because you are grandparents and not a parent does not mean you have no chance at success.

Oops sorry i hit wrong button. No not yet. I just learned
No not yet. I just learned today, my adopted mother is trying to place my sister in the care of the brother, who molested me years ago, when the mother passes on. She is 74 yrs old. She has crohn's disease and is getting older. I guess she's trying to make sure my sister is put in a safe home. I had an alcohol and drug addiction 7 yrs ago. I am now clean and sober. My children and grandchild, who is autistic, resided with her until I could get my life in order. However, my children and grandchildren are not living with her anymore but live near her still. She used my addictions to get custody of my middle child n grand daughter. And given my state at the time, I felt were ok to be there. Now the granddaughter is in another home more suited for her needs. My daughters now have their own homes. … read more
