Q: My son and his wife quickly up and left Georgia and moved to Broken Arrow, OK. They will not let the children call me.
My son has stolen from me personally and from my business. They moved 5 children without saying goodbye and took only the basic stuff like clothes. They even left the children's beds. If I do get through on the phone then the children are made to have the phone on speaker. I know they are staying at her father's house. This means 4 adults and 5 children living in a two-bedroom house. Do I have the right to talk to my grandchildren and to have them visit me or me visit them? Please let me know what I can do.
A:
It is unfortunate that you have been unable to see your grandchildren. While a grandparent can file an original action for visitation, there are several requirements. For one, the parents must be separated or divorced. For this reason, it may be best to contact an attorney who can assist you with the specifics of your circumstances and provide you with a tailored response.
We wish you well.

A: Wow! That must be heart wrenching for you as a grand parent. You can petition the Court for visitation if you have had a close relationship with the children. Call the office at 770-723-7211 and we can schedule a time to discuss your situation and options in more detail.
