Grandparents have rights as well....most importantly though...it's not fair to the child. I can't understand why his father can't see that. Why punish the child for his ignorance?

You might have to make nice with the father even if you don't care for him. However if it's gone farther than this some states have "Grandparents Rights" and a court of law can award specific visiting times for you and your grandson. I hope you get this settled without all the court stuff because it's hard on the heart strings also.
I feel for you because I myself have gone through kind of the same thing. Only it's my granddaughters mother who won't let me see her but I am not biological grandmother and have no rights (even though I raised her the first 2 years of her life) It's a heart ache that I hope you solve satisfactorily.

I would talk with the father and try to find out why he feels he needs to keep your grandson away from you. Once you have had a chance to do that, maybe work on ways to make him more comfotable about you having your grandson to visit. If that doesn't work then find out about your state and see if they have laws that protect the Grandparents rights.Most states have one.
GoodLuck

Is there a reason? Does the father of your grandson disagree with the way you live your life or a major decision? People don't usually just want to keep their kids out of their parents life for no reason. I limit the amount of time my child spend with their grandparents because of somethings they do.

It would depend on why my grandson's father felt it necessary to keep my grandson from seeing me. If his reasons were unfounded, then I would seek professional help. Does your daughter agree with the decision? (I assume the father isn't your son) If your daughter agrees, you will have major problems without legal help. You have a right to see him, and more and more judges are sympathetic to Grandparents and their rights to see their grandchildren. Call the bar association and get a free interview with a lawyer and see what he/she has to say.

Standing on your rights is a last resort as it sets you against the father. The father has the burden of parental responsibility, he has to feel that his son will benefit from your involvement. At present it sounds as though he doesn't feel that. Ask yourself why, try to understand the problem he has with you. Is there someone else who knows you both and can see what the problem is? Then, think whether there is a kind of involvement you could have with the boy that would address the father's problem. A tough one, good luck.

very almost each state has a "Grandparent's top" clause imparting you with specific rights. If that would not paintings, do what my sister did and touch a lawyer and get the newborn legally for a million-2 days a month consistent with a custody order. As their grandparent's you do have specific rights and he or she have been given to get her grandson lots of days a month, regardless of the mummy's objection. although, because of the fact then issues have labored out great and the mummy allowed her to maintain all of them summer season! So i'm hoping issues can paintings out for you too!

Only way to see your grandson is to suck it up and make up with the father. You may not like him, but if he thinks you do you have much better chances.
