Can you explain the process to proceed to gain grandparents rights in Linn County? My daughter is married and lives in Cedar Rapids. G'kids ages 5,2.

More details to this question:
My husband and I have had our grandsons held from us since April 2016. My 37 year old daughter is mad at me and in return is holding the grandsons from my husband and I. What are our rights and how do I begin to gain visitation thru the courts. Thru the comments the 5 year old makes when I see him briefly, it's clearly affecting him emotionally. I fear she is mentally harming the boys by her actions. Please help me.

Jill,
Unfortunately, grandparents do not have a right to visitation in the state of Iowa. If you daughter does not want you to see them, the court will not issue an order to the contrary.
