If anyone could give me a little information on how to get atleast temp. custody of her , please do so. I just found out my 4 month old grandaughter is in iowa's state custody. I live in Texas , but my Ex-Wife lives in marion ohio with my daughter ( 4 months old mother). I have a great relationship with my daughter , but she can't give me custody obviously. I can't stand the thought of her being handed from one person to the next, please give any advice or information that might help me get her back with family in the shortest time posible. Thank You from one very saddend Grandpa.

You certainly can petition for custody in Iowa. I would suggest that you speak with an attorney in Iowa as all state laws are different. He or she can point you in the right direction even if you end up not hiring an attorney. You can locate one in the area through the attorney locator on Lawinfo's home page at http://www.lawinfo.com/. Some do offer free consultations.
