    Hello,

    Have you tried talking with her first and asking if you can work out a better arrangement that benefits ALL 3 of you? If that hasn't worked, you could probably apply for regular visitation. Outline reasonable conditions you would like to have and how the boy would benefit from being with you as much as he would with her. Was the other grandma named his guardian? The only thing that could probably stop you from visitation regularly is if they live in another state to far to travel by car or if you have some kind of shady background, people living with you that have inappropriate criminal backgrounds, etc. That's if the other grandma wanted to pull that card and say your home isn't safe for him. I'm not a lawyer or anything by the way.

    Your rights mostly depend on where you live. Can you give a general location please?

    Good news is you do have grandparents rights. SO you must decide what to do about it. Inorder to garner those rights to their fullest you will need to go to court if things can't be agreed upon. Here is a link about your rights and how to achieve them legally.

    Ref:

    Grandparents may also initiate a court proceeding to see their grandchildren when one of the parents is deceased and the other parent refuses to let the grandparents visit their grandchild or grandchildren.

    Whoops, I can certainly see how the name of the firm would indicate the UK, but the firm is in Missouri.

    I found this

    Grandparents Rights To See Grandchildren Grandparents Legal Rights Uk

    In reference to the UK. It indicates that courts (not necessarily law) are allowing some rights to UK grandparents.
