[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 700914, member: 1233"] Is she using drugs? What did she need that much money for at age 12, 15, etc..? Is she a fit parent? Do the kids go to school, daycare, etc...? Does she have a home for them? If she is using, or is very obviously unfit, or keeps the kids from school, etc...., Social Services may intervene. This is rare though, so don't make the call lightly. If she keeps custody she will likely not let you see them for a long time (not much different than now). Social Services isn't really reliable though, and what they will do varies widely from state to state. Have you looked into your rights as a grandparent? These rights vary WIDELY from state to state. I live in Oklahoma and here my parents could sue for grandparents rights for my niece but not for my kids. They only can sue if the parents are divorced or never married and they have had a consistent relationship with the grandchild. My parents see my children often, but since I am still married to their father, they could not sue us for visitation even if they wanted to. I know that one member lives in a state where grandparents have no rights to sue for visitation no matter what. It really is dependent on the state, so you need to look up rights for your state. Here are two websites with summaries of grandparents rights by state: [URL]http://family.findlaw.com/child-custody/summaries-of-state-law-grandparent-visitation-and-custody.html[/URL] [URL]http://www.grandparents.com/family-and-relationships/grandparents-rights/grandparent-rights-united-states[/URL] These are just meant as a start, so you know your basic rights in your state.
