Parental rights vs. Granparent's rights
How far does a grandparent's rights extend if the parents, who are married and have no plans for divorce, of a minor child feel that continued association with said grandparent may not be in the best interst of the child?
Interaction with the child has never been denied the grandparent. The grandparent however feels that they should be allowed to see the child at their convience, not the parents. The grandparent has caused friction among the parents, therefore affecting the child.
The grandparent has also found a way through political means to possibly affect the daycare situation of the child endangering the mothers employment. A job the mother has not because she wants to work but because she has too. The grandparent does not take innto consideration the hardship the loss of the mother's job would have on the family. How the loss of income would affect the child. All this is due to the fact that the grandparent has to follow the rules set by the parents.

Re: Parental rights vs. Granparent's rights
The grandparent rights statute only comes into play when the family of the minor child in question is no longer in tact due to divorce or death. As a grandparent of an in tact family there are no statutes that protect your rights.
