New Orleans, LA asked in DUI / DWI and Family Law for Louisiana

Q: I’m wanting to find out if I have any rights at all to my grandbaby, whom I do have a relationship with but ONLY....

Allowed to see her if I go to my daughters house. My daughter has been getting mentally abused by her husband since even before baby was born. My daughter and her husband live with my ex husband. I’m remarried and of course it’s an issue, but I make it a point to go see my grandbaby at least once a week, when I’m allowed. My daughter is not “Allowed” to go anywhere with the baby, not even at my house because her husband refuses her to leave the house unless he’s with her. I was in delivery room. I have always been there for my daughter and her husband hates me for that. I’m so torn inside about this. After baby was born and they were able to go home, and she had a C-Section, I wanted to go help her, and again I wasn’t allowed. That hurt me because me and my daughter are very close, but he hates that. I told her I was seeking an attorney for at least a whole day of visitation she cried and begged me not to because it would make their relationship end. What can I do?

A: If your daughter doesn't give you visitation, you have none.
