    In most States grandparents do not have rights, let alone great grandparents.

    Here is the explanation of Indiana Law - rights depend on circumstances and there is no mention of the rights of a great grandparent.

    "Grandparent Issues: Indiana

    Grandparent Rights to Visitation: Visitation may be granted if either the child's parent is deceased, the parents'marriage has been dissolved in Indiana, or if the child was born out of wedlock. (For the paternal grandparents of a child born out of wedlock to obtain visitation, the child's father must have legally established paternity.) If the marriage of the parents was dissolved somewhere other than Indiana, the grandparents may seek visitation if the custody decree does not bind the grandparent under I.C. §31-1-11.6-12 and if an Indiana court has jurisdiction under I.C. §31-1-11.6-14. Title 31, Article 1, Chapter 11.7, Section 1 (A.I.C. §31-1-11.7-1 et seq.). "
