A parent can designate a responsible adult to pick up and receive the children for his or her visitation. You are not obliged to do anything unless the court tells you to. Grandparents have the right to ask the court for limited visitation. Until the court grants it to them, you are not obliged to provide it to them. However, subject to you and your ex's agreement on visitation, you and he must follow the court order.
