so the paternal grand mother just found out she is a grand mother and has a 9 month old grand son. Her son never told her and just did at thanksgiving because he now has to pay child support. She was hurt and furious! The son is 28 years old and isn't owing up to being a poppa....his father said if he isn't involved in the child's life they shouldn't be because it will only confused the child and the sister...aunt needs to detach herself emotionally and physically from the baby and not talk to the mom anymore. Personally, I think it's bullshit. The child will not be confused if you give a child everything they need, tell them the truth, and they have a strong stable environment...in which that is possible and great role models. I think this family is selfish and needs to tell their son to be a man. He is 28 years old and the real mom just found out she has a grand child!!! Well what are her rights if she wants a relationship with her grand child?

In California, the grandparents have reasonable visitation rights, as codified in California Family Code Sections 3103-4.
; however, if the child's parents both agree that the visitations are not in the best interest of the child, the grandparent or grandparents will have the burden of rebutting that presumption in court. This is a rather complex law, and you should consult an attorney who is a specialist in Family Law for all of the details.
Briefly, if a petition is filed by the grandparent(s), the court must consider the best interest of the child, and the wishes of the parents, The wishes of the parent(s) are taken into consideration, as well as individual circumstances of custody, support, marital status of the parents, present physical custody, support orders, protective orders,
If a judge grants grandparental visitation rights, he may make an order for financial support, meaning costs relating to such visits, including transportation, basic expenses during a visit of the child outside the usual home, including medical expenses, day care costs and other necessities.
Again, a great deal depends on individual cases, and no hard-and-fast rules can be made.

It is always best not to hide something from your child, if the grandparents and the aunt wants to see the baby, by all means let them. However it is the baby's parents choice as to how they wants to deal with this, and everybody else needs to accept that.
Also remember that this baby will grow up and will ask questions later and won't be impressed if his parents lied to him.
The baby's father must also go and think what he is doing to his son, not being a part of his life, how that will affect both of them in the future!!

Since her son wants nothing to do with the child that would make her nothing to the child. She basically would have no rights unless the child's MOTHER requested her to be a part of the child's life. The child's mother is the ruling factor here since the biolgical father obviously wants nothing to do with the child. He doesn't HAVE to own up to being a father if he chooses not to however according to California law he STILL has to pay child support. But none of it is HIS mother's choice.

the only way that a grandparent can declare grandparents spectacular in maximum states is that in the event that they are able to coach they had a relationship with the new child that alter into effective to the new child, and the mummy and dad of the new child are divorced, or certainly one of them is lifeless and the surviving determine/wide-unfold custodian is conserving the new child from persevering with that relationship. Edited to function: If the two mom and dad of the new child are actually unable to look after the new child, the grandparent nonetheless would not have the rights to the new child, they ought to coach that they are in good shape to establish, in the previous the new child could be located of their care.
