[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 299167, member: 1514"] Grandparent rights do vary from state to state so you would have to check your local laws. VA has grandparent rights while NC has some very poor grandparent rights. I would have to prove my granddtrs parents both completely incompetent and basically have her taken away from them before I could get any rights. I cant tell you how to advise you son about keeping his marriage intact. That is such a hard thing and is so individual. daughter in law does sound like she is obstinate and not willing to listen on this subject. Maybe there is fear there. It would tick me off that she isnt letting you have contact with the grandson. Your son can, in most likelihood, get joint custody if he stays in the same area with her should they divorce. Now that wont mean actual 50/50 time but joint decision making. He will be lucky to get either weekends or every other weekends and then they decide on holidays and he gets fathers day and a month or two in the summer. That is our basic setup with Keyana. Though ours isnt through a court but joint decision by the parents. It is always for the best if parents can be civil and work out the parenting schedule themselves. With a child so young, they can be more lenient on the visitation and let him go longer periods to each home because of no school to worry about. It is best for the child to be raised with both parents. Courts look favorably on parents who have thought this out. [/QUOTE]
