Yes; he can.
No. The grandmother cannot legally transfer custody to the mother only the court can do that. The father can file a motion in court to have a hearing on the matter.No. The grandmother cannot legally transfer custody to the mother only the court can do that.

My answer to that would be 'No'. The father is responsible for providing child-support regardless of who has custody of the child; at least until the age of 18.
The father would have priority unless he has been deemed unfit or does not want custody. If the father consents the grandmother will likely be appointed legal guardian. If he objects there will be a hearing at which both sides present evidence to support their request for custody and the court will render a decision based on the best interest of the child. The grandmother should consult with an attorney who specializes in custody issues.
Depends on the state
It's possible.
They will most likely enter a temporary custody and support order that will stand until the final decree is issued.
Custody issues are decided by the courts on the basis of the best interest of the child in question. If the child is likely to be cared for better by the father than by the grandmother, then yes, the father would have a good chance of winning custody.
If it's his turn, and the court gave 1/2-and-1/2 custody. Maybe.
The court would have to award you custody.
no, she must approve
Only through a court order. It is assumed she has the mother's consent. If the father doesn't consent the grandmother needs to petition for guardianship and then show why the father is unfit and it would be in the best interest of the child to be placed under the legal guardianship of the grandmother.

It is unlikely that the court would order "shared custody". If the mother is unfit the grandmother can petition to be appointed the legal guardian of the child. However, the father must consent.It is unlikely that the court would order "shared custody". If the mother is unfit the grandmother can petition to be appointed the legal guardian of the child.
