Legal Question in Family Law in Iowa

What legal rights do I have as a grandparent?

What can I do to get visitation rights with my grandson? I have no restraints against me. It is controlled mainly by the other grandparent along with my daughter. I watched my grandson for nearly two and a half years along with my parents taking part in caring for him. He is five now.
