QUESTION
Do I have any visitation rights as a sibling to visit my brother?

More details to this question:
My mom passed earlier this year and my 15 year old brother ended up in the custody of my grandmother. Unfortunately, me and my grandmother don't get along so she's not letting me see or spend anytime with my brother. I'd like to know if I have any rights to get court ordered visitation.

If your grandmother is the legal custodian of your brother she has the final say whom your brother sees and you do not have any independent rights you can assert in court. However, your brother is 15 years old and can chose to see you outside of your grandmother's house.
