A: She doesn't have to allow you to see the baby. Your son doesn't have any rights if he hasn't filed for legitimation, so you certainly don't have any rights.

A: Attorney Edwards is correct. Your son will need to be legitimized before any visitation or parental rights are established. Once he has an established visitation order, he can allow you to see your grandchild during his parenting time.

A: I agree with my colleagues. If your son hasn't legitimized the child then he has no legal rights to the child. This means you have no rights either and the mother can deny visitation. You stand a better chance of seeing your grandchild if your son files for legitimation. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558 HomerJordan.com
