I have a patient whose ex just passed away recently. She had sole custody of their daughter, and the daughter is now staying with her grandparents since the mother passed.
My patient is the father (also on the birth certificate) and is wondering how he should go about getting his daughter.
Will he need to consult a lawyer or social services? No answer will be too detailed.

He should definitely talk to an attorney if he’s expecting her parents to resist giving him the kid. How old is she, and what was his contact with her prior to the mother’s death?
