ANSWER BY MARGARET CROSS-BELIVEAU:

If appears from your question that the family court has already issued an order about your involvement in you grandchild’s care.  Unless the court finds that the father is an unfit parent, he choices will be honored by the court.  You should consult an attorney to determine if you have the ability to object to the other grandmother having custody.
