3 months ago my grandson mother bought my 2 year old grandson to our house. The boys father lives at home with us. We do not know where my grandsons mother is nor do we have any contact information for her in case of emergency. Any suggestions on if we can file abandonment charges on her. Even though my 2 year old grandson dad lives with us; in GA he has no legal rights.

First there is a sticky note at the top of this forum that deals with the issue of abandonment. It explains what abandonment is not an issue here.

Second, is the father your son? Why would he not have legal rights?

Finally, you need to define what it is that you really want. Do you want the father to have custody? Do you want the mother to pay support? Do you want custody? Without knowing what your goals are here, its hard to advise.

3in GA he has no legal rights.
It really makes me laugh!

I'm sorry.. yes my son is the father. We were told that he (as the natural father) has no legal rights in GA. (We contacted legal aid). We want custody so that we can finish my grandsons immunizations and have the legal right to put him in daycare with all legal papers intact. We have tried to contact my grandsons mother (19 years old) but to no avail; don't even know where she lives as she has no contact with us.

Whoever told you the bio father has no rights doesn't know what they were talking about. But the father (not you) needs to go after those rights in court. He needs to go to court to establish paternity and then apply for custody.

Is he listed on the birth certificate?
