Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

I would like to know what grandparent rights are. I have two teenage daughters, age 16 and 18 which I have legal custody of. They have decided to live with their grandparents temporarily because they do not approve of the man I am dating. I do not see this man but about every couple months since he lives out of state. He occasionally comes to our hometown to visit me and his family.
