    We need more information. Do you know why he is this way? Do you live far apart? Was there a disagreement? How many grandchildren and what ages?

    ANY question about law needs to include your general locale as laws vary by area. Many area do have grandparent rights laws that deal with just this situation. But it would be MUCH better to not have to force the father to let you be a part of the children's lives.

    First, please don't use the comments feature for follow-up Use the Answer options instead.

    2009 California Family Code - Section 3100-3105 :: Chapter 5. Visitation Rights provides for reasonable visitation for grandparents in the case where one parent is deceased if it can be shown that its in the best interests of the child. One of the criteria for this is a prior bonding relationship with the children.

    So what I would do is tell your son-in-law that you don't want to have to go to court on this, but that you believe that a court will grant you visitation if you do. Tell him, if he continues to play these games you will be forced to go to court to protect your rights.
