[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 727624, member: 1550"] Hi there. This is hard for grandma's, but we have very few options and none are good. Legally, we have no rights to our grands. Our probLem adult kids do not have to let us see them. If you feel they are being abused, do call CPS. It is the right thing to do. Your child, unless a sex offender, will likely just get scolded and might be offered helpful services. In the worst case scenario, the child will be removed and you can ask for custody, but the biological father would have first choice and unless he is also proven unfit. The bar is high. My understanding is Dad already has custody so now it is his decision Otherwise, the best you can do is build a good life for yourself in other ways and enjoy your grands when you get to see them. I have two grands I never met because my son took off and disowned the family. Legally, there was nothing I could do. We contacted a lawyer. I dont know the details but the Supreme Court has ruled against grandparents forced visitation. There are slight variations in states, but in all states parents who are not declared legally unfit have the right to deny us our grandchildren. If your daughter signed something she didn't read or says she didn't read maybe she can go back to court but lawyers are expensive and at 27 can't see a Judge having much sympathy or believing she didn't k ow what she was signing. But family court is unpredictable. I don't know why she blames you. But I think it's best to stay out of our grown kids decisions. This is especially true if they don't act like adults, dont work, and abuse us. I don't think it's a good idea to rescue or financially support them either. It doesn't help them or make them like us more. I hope you can find ways to enjoy life and find peace. [/QUOTE]
