Q: Can grandparents take their grandchildren to church without permission of the parent?

They were rewarded visitation but I am their natural father and I don't attend church? I attend the Kingdom Hall so they are being taught...

A: Unless the order granting them visitation specifically says that they can't take the children to church, then they can take them. If you don't want them going to church, then you should consult an attorney to see if the court will order it. I will tell you that many judges are going to be in favor of the children going to church so it may be an uphill battle.
