Q: Legal assistance to allow us as grandparents to see and visit our granddaughter?
Our ex son in law is not allowing us as grandparents to visit, see, or have our gra daughter with us.
A: You should speak directly with an attorney to discuss any rights you may have as grandparents. An attorney can review the law with you regarding grandparents rights and see under the statute what your rights may be. They can then advise you as to how to move forward in the courts to assert those rights, how to file a petition, service on the defendants, and how the case will move forward once service is perfected. While the case is pending the courts may award the grandparents some visitation on a temporary basis. But this will all go more smoothly if you hire an attorney to represent you.
