Re: Grandparent rights

Grandparents have the right to seek their own COURT-ORDERED access to the children under certain conditions. If the parents beleive that access is contary to the children's best interests, they can attempt to defeat the access.

However, the parents get to "call the shots" unless and until the grandparents actually pursue court orders.

Please contact me directly if you would like to discuss this in greater detail.
