Q: is there anything legal i can do to see my grandson
i am a first time grandma as of june 9th and have tried to see him but was told i can't until i tell my daughter in law sorry and I did that and still hear nothing from them i have been trying for weeks to see him and get no response when i ask if they are going to be around so i can come up and see him
A: Whether you could petition the court for visitation with any level of success is highly dependent on your specific scenario. Although a court can order visitation for grandparents, it is only awarded under certain circumstances and you would likely need an attorney. If you could work things out with your daughter, it would likely be the better and more affordable option. Hope this helps.
