The only rights the Grandparents will have to see your child is if YOU decide that they can see the child. Otherwise, due to a Supreme Court ruling..Grandparents have NO legal rights to their grandchildren.

To clarify, Grandparents have no legal rights to court ordered visitation where there is no evidence of neglect or abuse by the parents.
