Question: My daughter grandmother was granted poco parentis custody and sole legal decision making custody. What do I need to do to get custody back of my daughter? I'm currltey living in the same home as them. What steps or actions do I need to start for me to get my daughter back?

Answer: In Loco Parentis generally means that a person or organization is granted temporary custody. For example, when a child attends school, the instructor is granted In Loco Parentis. Contact the courts to determine if your mother has been awarded legal custody. If you are underage, the court will look at the child's "best interests" first.
