How can I get grandparent rights and court ordered visitation for my 2 year old granddaughter if the parents refuse to let us see her anymore?

As a grandparent, PA law provides to you the right to pursue custody rights if you can prove to a Court that you have been full filling the role of parent for the child (and are what the law calls acting  "in loco parentis") OR  if your relationship with your granddaughter began with the consent of a parent AND you have assumed or are willing to assume responsibility for the child AND the child was deemed dependent by a PA Court  OR the child is at risk due to parental abuse OR the child resided with you for at least 12 consecutive months.  As a grandparent you also have a right to pursue partial physical custody if the parents of the child have separated for at least 6 ms. or an action for divorce is pending or a parent is deceased.   In the absence of one of the above circumstances you may not be able to obtain an order of Court granting to you periods of partial physical custody of your granddaughter. If you would like to discuss your circumstances in greater detail, please contact me and I would be glad to do so.  Attorney Angela Stevens Pryah Stevens, LLC 570-718-4900  

You can file a complaint for grandparent visitation at the county court where the mother is living.
