    Can i terminate my rights

    Not unless he has someone who is willing to adopt them, step-mother etc. Or if he releases you from paying child support. He may not want anything from you (don't blame him) and he can say he does not want support. But if he does, no one adopts them... rights or terminated rights... your paying!

    Does mom have a say in who dad brings around child?

    Well if that were the case then dad "the father" should have say in who mom brings around. I mean as a parent and safey of his child.. hr should. Basically that is what mom is say and just playing a control game. Truth is.... in court the judge will tell you this is not true and the dad can...

    birth certificate

    Possible, but it could go both ways depending on the situation. If they divorced down the road and she wanted to stick you with support a DNA could be ordered, say this comes about because all of the sudden.. her husband is stating NOT THE FATHER... don't want to pay. Choices 1. Get the DNA...

    birth certificate

    Probably, you can contest it, and get a DNA test done and proceed from there and enforce your rights... But remember that comes with all the responsibilities of child support and being a father!

    Grandma needs help.

    That is just terrible, and by what you have said it sounds like this child needs to be with you, and that the real danger would be "child with mother". I do not have much advice on how to get the child back, but read your thread and couldn't help but offer my sympathy and understand as well as...

    What Can I Do?!?!?!?!!?

    This is not even a big legal issue and there is not much you can do. You can go buy thrift-garage sales clothes for dads house... (which is what I would do) Plus.. if he doesn't see the kids that often than I guess you won't be buying to many clothes anyway! OR you can go spend a ton of money...

    GrandParents And Childwelfare Troubles!!!

    LdiJ is right. sounds like a control bluffing game to me and you should look to an attorney or your family court for some answers. Just moreless unlikely that an agency has papers ready for your parents to sign when they want your child. Good luck! ;)

    GrandParents And Childwelfare Troubles!!!

    Have you ever seen these so called "paper" for custody? What trouble have you had in the past? Do you have a cousrt order with you having full custody? I do not know the laws in Canada but it would seem like they can not just take her with out a court order.

    visitation change?

    Stealth is right, seek out an attorney and go that route beings that you live out of state. It might be more costly but after all it is a child. Good luck! :o
