Re: Parental Rights
absent a court order, the mother has no right to deny parenting time to him. However, there may be restrictions on drinking or driving since his license may be suspended presently. He can ask the court to have her held in contempt.
Also, absent a court order, the grandma has no rights. However, she may be able to obtain rights.
