A: If your son doesn't have a court order for visitation with his child, and you, as the grandparent, are interested in seeking visitation independently, it's essential to check the grandparent visitation laws in your specific state. Emphasize the positive and significant relationship you have with your grandchild, especially if they lived with you for several years. Grandparent visitation laws vary, so seeking legal advice will provide you with accurate and personalized information for your situation.
