What rights will we have?

[n9lya]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana
My son 24Years old and his girlfriend 23 Years old...
Are having a baby. Not married not living together..
Long story short her parents are extremely controlling. They are letting them both see each other.. But refuse to let their daughter (whois an adult) make up her own mind.. They seem to have apower over her.. Or she is just brain washed,, or too weak to resist...
They first told her she was getting an abortion. Only after recieving death threats within hours of their daughter telling all her friends via text message did they decide to let her carry it to term. DUE 9-27-09
They told her and everyone else she will give it up for adoption...
Now they are saying she must remain living with them and let her have 6 months to prove she can raise a child if not to their satisfaction, they will make her give it away....

Weird I know...

They know our son has a good full time job and we believe together they can raise this baby with no worse hardship then when we had our first child.. Yes everything costs money and is hard work.. they both want to raise their own baby... But her parents have some how convinced her she MUST do as they say..

As Grandparents.. What rights do we have should they MAKE? here give it up...
Can we or our son sue for custody...

???? What options do we have???




We want to know and have access to our grandson.. We also know if they give it away we will never see it...

Even if they wait 6 months... That will only tramatize everyone involved...
Sounds like something could be done..

No idea what to do to the girl that is so intiomidated by her parents that she will not stand up to them.. But that may be another story...

Thanks for your time..

Actually your son won't legally have a child until paternity has been established. You have no rights whatsoever, the other grandparents have no legal rights either. The mother-to-be in this case is an adult and has allowed her parents to be in charge.

When the child is born, dad must establish paternity, visitation and support. Once all that has been legally established, you can then ask your son to bring the child to visit his grandparents.
