    Can suit be filed against a person for CAUSING post traumatic stress syndrome
    Maternal parent and juvenile court system has blocked all paternal access to child.
    I have mentally and emotionally suffered from alienation of my grandchild, and want to know if I can bring suit against the maternal parent as cause of my suffering.

    Hello t:

    Probably not. Grandparents rights are just beginning to be enforced around this country. If you live in a state that HAS established grandparent rights, then you might be able to sue.. If you don't, the maternal parent didn't violate any of your rights, so I don't know what grounds you could sue on.

    Certainly a visit to a family lawyer will answer your questions, and probably not cost a dime.

    No, if this has gone though court, and the court has orders in place, one can not be sued ( well not win anyway) for merely following or obeying court orders.

    I am sure the father who loses custody of his child in family court has a lot of mental pain, but can't sue for it.

    Next grandparents in most states have no rights to see the grandkids to start
