Does 7+ months meet requirement for grandchildren living with me to be claimed on a Fed Tax return where the children were placed in my home by Louisiana family Court?

I have Louisiana court documents proving children were in my custody.

Yes, a grandchild has to live with you for more than 6 months in order to be claimed as a qualifying child so 7+ months would meet that requirement.
