Re: grandchildren

Yes, grandparents have rights; but they are not so extensive as the right of a non-custodial parent. You will have to get the court's permission first, by showing that you qualify to bring the action. You qualify if your child is deceased, if the grandchild lived with you for a year or more, if your grandchild's parents were never married or if they are separated or divorced.
