Re: does my soninlaw still have rights?

If the father of the child has a job/assets and his address is known, your daughter should go to the county courthouse and ask about child support enforcement. Most counties have an office to help people get child support. He would still be entitled to visitation, but if your daughter refuses, it'll be up to him to file suit against her to get visitation. Good luck.
