Assuming the question relates to a child born out of wedlock, blood relations of the biological mother do not have more 'rights' to custody of a minor child than the biological father. In such cases, the court decides who shall retain permanent custody or joint custody of a minor. Generally the court will grant temporary custodial rights to the biological grandparents or the closest living relative of the biological mother assuming such person(s) qualifies for guardianship.
