Good Morning,
I'm trying to see if my in-laws have a case worth pursuing. Here’s a summary of what is going on. My brother in law and his wife have a child (17 months old) and they refuse to let my in-laws as well as my husband and I to see the child. There was a falling out between the grandparents and the child’s parents after he was born because they would not allow our side of the family to see the child. In the 17 months he has been alive I’ve seen him no more than 10 times and less than 2 hours a time.
I’ve done a little bit of research online and I can’t find a scenario where the grandparents are awarded rights when the parents are still married and competent to care for the child. Also, in what I’ve read it keeps talking about existing relationship between grandparents and grandchild, but in our situation the parents have not allowed a relationship and the grandchild is too young to know any better.
If anyone has any advice or has personally been in a situation like this, I would really appreciate your help. We are all sick to our stomachs that we cannot be a part of his life and see him grow up.
Thank You!!
