Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

My Husband and I are proud grandparents of our grandchildren ages (Girl 7) and (Boy 3). My son is separated from his wife for 6 months now. His wife left him and uprooted the children from their home. He has been fortunate to get his children every weekend and he remains in his home. For the past month he goes out with friends one night on the weekend (recommended by his therapist to move on) and we get to have the grandchildren at our home for sleepovers. My family is intact and we love having them and they have fun coming to grandma and grandpa's house. My daughter-in-law is threatening to take away some of his weekends with the children because she feels they belong in their own bed at home with their father regardless whether he goes out or not! What are our rights as grandparents to spend quality time with our grandchildren? We look forward to having them every Saturday evening. The bond is so strong that we are concerned that she will break that bond and they need the love and attention we share with them at this difficult time with their parents not getting along. Please advise us. Thank you.
