Her boyfriend is not the father of the kids and he tells her not to let me see them. How can I protect my grandchildren from him. He smokes marijana infront of them. When he gets upset with my daughter he takes off with their diapers and steals her money. He bites my granddaughter on the cheek and leaves a mark. Looks like a hickie. My daughter will cals me to pay her bills and if I say no, she denies my visitations. Can I take her to court for visitations? My grandkids lived with me for over a year, so they are very close to me. when my granddaughter comes to my house, when I take her home she cries and doesn't want to go with her. What can I do legally? Please help!!!!

i would recommend contacting child protection services...that's no reason to revoke visitation rights...it wold be different if you were the one who was smoking the marijuana and biting your grand daughters cheeks and stealing but its not. either you should try for visitation rights or try for sole custody...as in gain custody of the children because of the fact that they aren't living in a safe environment...if she is the mother, then whether or not he steels the money she should still have a job of her own in order keep funds flowing...hopefully everything works out and you will gain full custody of your grandchildren. you deserve it because you are concerned on their well being and apparently able to provide for them =)

Contact a lawyer because if the boyfriend is bruising your granddaughter that's considered child abuse. It's also an unstable home do to smoking marijuana and steeling. You can get visitation or temporary custody due to this. On another note tell your daughter she needs to grow up. How dare she keep your grandchildren away from you because you won't pay her bills. There is a man in the household whether he's the biological father or not and she's a women. It's there responsibility to take care of those children properly and provide a stable home. One things for sure be patient because when that man leaves or hurt her in anyway you'll be the one she come running to. Contact a lawyer and get a free consultation just to view your options whether you want them with you or visitation.

Your grandchildren's future and happiness hangs in the line, and i really pray that all goes well for you.
What i think you should do is to first hire a P.I to take pictures of him taking weed or whatever he smokes, other than that you pictures of him biting her would be neccesary. If you dont have money to hire a P.I, try asking someone trustworthy to take pictures of him doing all the bad stuff. Hopefully you get a strong person so if he gets caught by your daughters boyfriend he can escape.
Secondly. Call the police and say he's taking weed. He'll be out of the problem for a while.
Thirdly, Bring it to court. Show evidence that you are a much more deserving person than them to have your grandchildren. Try to use most of your rights as possible, like the grandparents rights stuff.
I really hope this goes your way. It's really serious and i can't imagine what the children would turn out to be if you dont get the custody.
Good Luck!

You don't say where you are from. In some states, grandparents don't have visitation rights. But in this case, it sounds like you can prove abuse by the boyfriend and neglect by the mother. You need to forget she is your daughter and protect your grandchildren, who cannot look after themselves. Get the Departement of Family and Children Services involved. Sounds to me like you can get custody. It probably will be a long hard battle with your daughter resenting you at first, but hopefully one day she will grow up and see you did what was best for the kids. Good luck and God Bless... do not delay!

Yes, you have rights, but more importantly your grandchildren appear to be in a unfit household at best. I think you should turn the tables on her and report the conditions the children are living in and what is happening to them. The children have lived with you in the past and it may be past time for them to live with you again. Your daughter is using you and trying to put a guilt trip on you while she is allowing her children to be abused. Do not let your daughter use you, do what is best for her children and let the courts decide if she can have visitation. Contact the police, or social services, and report the situation. You may also need a lawyer, but whatever there is not much you can do for your daughter at this point, but you can protect her children.

Sounds like your daughter is probably on drugs and so is her boyfriend... I don't think pot is the only problem there. She isn't able to pay her own bills. Something is wrong.
The kids are in abuse and there's no-telling what all is going on that you don't know about yet.
You need to talk to children's protective services and file a complaint about all of this.... tell them what you said here!
You need to go to family court to get custody of the kids away from your daughter. Let her have supervised custody until she proves she is clean and sober, and that rat boyfriend is out of the picture.

She can't legally withhold visitation from you. pass on your county court docket's family members branch and characteristic them report a "coach reason" petition. this might make her pass to court docket and tell the decide why she won't make it easier to verify your daughter. i do no longer think having no activity is grounds to alter custody, except you are able to coach her undeserving. Paying her charges with baby help is likewise no longer grounds. The utilities benefit your daughter so because it relatively is seen as an appropriate expenditure. yet certainly pass after the refusal of visitation in step with no remember if or no longer you lend her funds. it relatively is in basic terms incorrect via any standards!

oh yes, you can absolutly get visitation.. It's called grandparent's rights. If you are in the situation to care for them , fight for at least emergency temporary custody of those kids until she gets her life straitened out... You have every right to see those babies... It's sad to see them going through that... too many parent's don't take the value of their children's lives seriously... He bites them? Are you kidding me? Get them out of there...
