Hello,

I am the grandmother to a 15 mo old little girl. I am trying to establish a bond with my grand daughter and the mother will not allow me to see the baby. The mother has relocated and taken the child with her. My son and myself have been searching for the child and have been unable to locate her. We have no forwarding address nor do we have any phone numbers. Paternity was never established, because the woman was married at the time. I want to know what are my rights as a grandmother, I feel that the mother in not stable and I also feel that my presence in the child's life would be most beneficial. Please help me to understand how I should handle this matter, obviously it is going to have to be a legal matter. HELP~! Grandmother desperately trying to find her one and only grand daughter.

What state do you live in?
It may be more difficult since two different states are involved and only some states recognize grandparent rights. Also you would have to go about proving paternity of the baby before establishing any rights.

Hi well this is a tuff case I have work in law before your son is going to have to go to court and put in the paper work,see if she put in a letter forwarding add they put that when moving you mite be able to get something like that when you put papers in court someone is going to have to server her other wise she will have a warrant,when she doesn't show up,you as a grandmother can't do much till you go to court

Get a lawyer. You won't be able to do ANYTHING without one.

Until paternity is established, you don't HAVE rights to the child.

In some states, if she was married when the child was born to someone not the biological father, then the LEGAL father is still the man who was her husband when the child was born.

Your SON needs to fight for HIS rights before you can do ANYTHING about YOUR rights---if you even have grandparents rights in your state.
