I doubt he's under any obligation to allow contact between great-grandpa and his kid.

where is the mother of the child. What exactly does the visitation order say.

Thankyou for replying to my letter..No he doesnt have to let my father see or talk to his great granddaughter but he has always let him in the past.

Thankyou for replying to my letter..No he doesnt have to let my father see or talk to his great granddaughter but he has always let him in the past.

Legality aside, my immediate emotional response is: What a crying shame! Children are not pawns and should never be used as a means to filter hatred, spite, or otherwise vengeful feelings on behalf of parents and families. Do you have the phone number of the household where your grandchild is staying? Block your caller ID (in my state, dialing *67 before a call turns off your identification on the other caller's end), call the household, and be as frank as you can be with whomever answers. "Hello, this is {grandchild's name} Grandmother. I have my father here and he would like to speak to his great-grandchild for a moment, please. It would absolutely make his day (year, decade, century)! We really appreciate it."

My heart goes out to you and your father. Don't give up. Best wishes.

Edit: If you know the first and last name (or even just the last name is a good start), you can do online searches for phone numbers in Florida.

I don't know why your daughter does not have custody, but now would be a great time to seek it. He left his child at Step Mom's parents house. Tell your daughter to get back to court.

Of course, there's also no proof whatsoever that he's told you the truth. Just why has your daughter not done anything up to now?

Well first off he just moved there daughter up there and second off he lives in San Diego,CA and we live in a town called Tulare,CA so we can't just get in a car and drive there cause it is like 500 miles away or more and we don't have the money to take a road trip like that so that is really the only way I know of to see if hes telling us the truth or not.

Have your daughter borrow the money and file for custody modification and a rule ni si for contempt. Then she will have the right to conduct discovery to find out what' going on. If the father has custody he is responsible for raising the child and visitation with the mother.

First off Thankyou for replying to my letter...Yes the father does have custody have there daughter but the papers say that the father is to bring my daughters daughter down here to see her at least once a month and that my daughter is to be able to talk to her daughter every weekend and this isnt happening.Will that still work for my daughter to file custody modification if he has custody of there daughter?

Are you saying that the mother has absolutely NO unsupervised visitation with the child? If that is the case, why?
