If I die, I want my mother 2 have custody of my son, since the father has not shown care.Where do I seek info?

My son is 18 months (1.5 yrs) and his father has not once tried to see him. I have filed for child support and been to court once but I was thinking, should I die... I want my mother to have custody of my son since she has been with he and I since he was born, I dont want the father to all of a sudden try to take him from my mother so, where can i get information for my mother (grandmother) to have custody of my son should I die?

Answers:
I have a sister that was in the same position. She has tried to get the father's rights terminated. When she went to the lawyer and asked him about. He said that the father would have to terminate the rights. It wouldn't matter about a Will. If the father gets wind that you have passed away, he can fight and will more then likely win. (He is that father!) The only way would be to either get his rights terminated, or like her lawyer said, don't die anytime soon!

make a will
