Greetings:

You must petition the court for legal guardianship/custody. If your grandson's parent(s) is/are not objecting to same, you can have him/her/them sign an affidavit (must be notarized), substantiating same. The court will set the matter for hearing, and if all meets with the judge's approval, he/she will grant same and sign an Order making it official. The parent(s) should be willing to appear in person at the time of hearing.

If your grandson's parent(s) is/are not in agreement, this may be a difficult proceeding. In that case, you should consult with an attorney for advice and counsel. If money is an issue, you can consult with the Grandparent's Rights Organization. See below:
