Question

I live in va. I have a granddaughter who is in foster care in florida. My daughter and the father are willing to sign her over to me and if the courts grant me full custody of her, I want to know if later down the line the parents get it together and want her back if it is an easy process here or a long drug out process. I would be willing to care for her completely til they are ready to take care of her properly. We just want to know if they could ever get their parental rights back?



Answer

One doesn't merely "sign over" custody of a child but rather must properly

petition the appropriate court for such a determination and order, but even if

such an order were granted in your favor, it would in no way signify

that the rights of the parents to this child had been necessarily terminated.
