Re: My daughter has not seen her children in 7 months

Your daughter needs the assistance of the Court. It appears that she has

no other alternative but to file a Petition For Legal Separation. She

needs a lawyer. It is important that

your grandchildren see their mother regularly for their own good. A Legal Separation case will allow your daughter to seek full custody of your

grandchildren. Also, with custody,

your daughter will get child support. I will be happy to discuss this with you further.
