Dear brucesandrea:

Greetings. If the mother and father are an intact family and not harming the children, grandparents generally have little to no rights. I would suggest that your parents speak with attorney directly about their situation. Good luck.

I am trying to find out some information about grandparents rights to vistitation. Long story short, my sister-in-law and family are mad at my parents for calling social services on them over the kids having had lice for two years. They said that the children will never be around them again. So far that has come true and my parents are devastated because they have a very close relationship with the kids. My brother and sister-in-law lived with my parents since the children were born until recently.Is there anything they can do? The kids are suffering too.
