we want to see my grandchild,they don't said "you guys cant see him"but they "never home"Wat we can do?legal

Answer 1

Are the parents of your grandchild married or together? If so, you have no legal rights to see the child. The courts have ruled that, in intact families (where the parents of the child are together or are in agreement), the parents have full legal rights to decide who the child may be around. If they do not want the grandchild around the grandparent, they can keep the grandparent away.

If the parents are no longer together, you MIGHT have rights, depending upon the state where the child resides. Only a few states, however, allow grandparent visitation, and it is can be a long and expensive legal process. You would have to prove that it is in the best interest of the child and that you have a caring and long-standing relationship with the child. Most judges, however, would just rule that you can see the grandchild during your child's visitation period.

Answer 2

There is a thing called grandparents rights in every state, and you could pursue that, but one has to asks what type of relationship do you have with your children that they would want to keep your grandchild away from you? Before you start knocking down bridges by going through the court system, wouldn't it be better to fix whatever problems exist now? All too often people want to go through the legal system to get their way or what they think they are entitled to. It often causes more harm than good. There is probably a very good reason they've made your grandchild inaccessible to you, and you know that. I highly suggest you start there first because in order to fight for Grandparent's rights, you had better be squeaky clean and not have any conflict with those parents. I apologize for the harsh undertones, but I work in the industry and I see this all the time. It kills me because it's only the children who suffer in cases like this. No good ever comes of something like this, no matter what the intentions are. I urge you to please talk to your children instead and tell them how you feel.

Answer 4

Unfortunately, in most places grandparents don't have any rights as far as seeing grandchildren. I don't know where you are, but you could check with a family law attorney, or domestic relations division of juvenile justice office. Or just show up at the house unannounced! Why do you think they might not want you to see your grandchild??

Answer 5

depending on the state
not all state recognize grandparents visitation rights
as that's been a hot topic
even those that do recognize visitation right, a key is in the bonding issue, that is has the child in question bonded with the grandparent
a judge can rule for you or against you
you might be able to take them to court
but if they are "deny" visistations, you have to ask your self why are you now married kids against you..
ideally you want to address that issue first
google grandparents visitation rights
and sooner or later you'll come up with a website that list states and what rights you may or may not have
one reason the courts do not like the issue is the invasion of family and santicty inside of a nuclear family
they simply do not like getting in the middle of what they see is a private matter and ideally feel parents have the final say
and what with 50% divorce rate and fragile marriage, i can harldy blame them

Answer 6

Well, what is the reason? Which parent are you related to and do they have custody? If your child is not the custodial parent, then maybe you could file a suit (depending on where you live) to see the grandbaby. If your child is the one with custody, then maybe you can just talk to them and try to resolve whatever issues you have. Children need all the love they can get. It's sad when they are denied this. I wish you the best of luck.

Answer 7

Well the others talked about grand-parents rights so I will not go there.

They to be home sometime. School should be starting soon also. SO, time is wasting.

Go to there house continually until they are home. Call your kids at work and ask to have them for the weekend. Write your kid a letter about how you feel and be nice, tell your kid not to put the grandkid in the middle.

In short, work harder at it. You are losing precious time that can never be redone.

Answer 8

Go find a lawyer who will file a claim for Grandparents Rights. You will go to court and they will set up times that you can see your grandchild. You have all rights to see him or her. Please do not wait to much longer because your grandchild needs to see and know their grandparents. Find a attorney in your city or town where you live.. Good luck, Zella

Answer 9

Depending on what state you live in there is such a thing as grandparents rights.......you first need to see if your state has this law and if so you are going to have to get an attorney and file the petition for it.

Good luck
