Do I have any legal backing to see my children if I have a chemical imbalance that's easily maintained with medication and have been arressted for a domestic dispute where no charges have been filed? Also, is it even legal for grandparents to make next to impossible for me not to see them?

I heard if your disabled of some type depending on what. Mostly they conceder that to be not liable on taking care of children. But that's an opinion not a fact

The chemical imbalance thing should be fine. But if you have not taken your medication regularly, this is not good, especially if the inbalance causes violence.
If no charges were filed for a domestic dispute that's in your favour. However evidence of violence towards your wife is not a good thing if you want custody of your children.
As for the grandparents, unless they have some legal guardianship thing going on, forget them, they are not a party to this dispute.
Also check out a lawyer - laws differ between states in America, if that's where you are.

Get to your county court immediately and file a petition for visitation. If you can't afford an attorney see if there is a Legal Aid office near you. You do have legal rights, however, depending on the circumstances of your imbalance and how well and how long it is and has been maintained is critical. If you have a court order for visitation, and someone makes it next to impossible for you to visit, then file a violation.
All of this takes time but believe me, it is worth it. Do not ever give up on visitation, file a violation every single time your court order is violated. Sooner or later, the Judge is going to come down on those who stand in your way. Don't be surprised if, at the beginning, your visitations are supervised. If that is brought up in court, request that there be a time limit, such as one year, placed on that restriction providing that you prove yourself fit to have unobserved visitation at the end of that year.
Good Luck.

You need to seek advice from a lawyer, they will tell you what rights you have and can help you get visitation with your children.
Good Luck.

Every question you asked is for a judge to decide and you need a good lawyer!

You're better off hiring yourself an attorney. From the sounds of things, you're really going to need one.
