Re: grandparents rights

I would recommend filing an OSC for custody of your grandchild. It may result in visitation rights until the other parent is incarcerated when you may move for full custody. Contact me directly. 20 years experience.

Re: grandparents rights

Grandparents typically have no rights unless their child is deceased. However, there may be rights where their child is incarcerated. You should consult with an attorney with regard to the entire situation. I would be happy to give you a consultation. There are other factors to look at in addition to requesting visitation, such as the past history of you and your spouse, etc.
