My grandson’s girl friend is expecting a baby. She won't marry him and now will not give the baby his last name. They are living together. His mother is sick. She won't be able to see the baby or have visitation rights.

Grandparents have little if any rights when both parent are alive. Their rights are derivative of their relative, i.e. if grandson doesn't push it, then they probably will get nowhere. They need to get grandson to do something. If he sits on his butt and does not do anything, it is his problem.
