Grandparents rights in Oklahoma

Can anyone advise me in the steps I should take in getting grandparents rights. Is there anyway to do this without hiring a lawyer. Our daughter and her live in boyfriend of about 18 months are mad because we wouldn't change our plans so we could babysit their newborn and 2 year old for the weekend, I know that doesn't sound real but that is the case. Our daughter has a 3 yr old girl that we raised for over a year, and a 2 yr old boy that do not belong to the boyfriend. However the boyfriend has taken control of her and now they won't let us have any contact with any of the children. Nana and Papa are very upset.

Grandparents do NOT have inherent rights to a grandchild. You could possibly have standing to sue for visitation but you really don't stand a chance without a lawyer. And keep in mind if you lose you daughter will NEVER allow you near the children again. Ever. Attempting to take away your daughters RIGHT to determine who has access to HER children is a sure way to destroy her trust in you.

A GPV suit cost 10's of thousands of dollars.

Where is 2 year old's dad?

Though you may have standing to sue for visitation in Oklahoma this will be nigh on impossible without your daughter and the legal father's approval.

Ditto what the other's said...

However, I will emphasize that if you think she is mad at you now, just wait and see how much worse it will get if you file for visitation. Unless you are willing to risk losing both your daughter and your grandchildren forever, you should back off on that idea and just give your daughter some time to get over the "mad".
