How do I get visitation with my granddaughter?

    You should try to get in touch with DCF and/or the courts in the county where the case is pending.  Typically when children are taken from parents there is a hearing to detemine if there is another relative who the children could be placed with on a temporary basis.  Apparently, your name was not given.  The problem is that these dependency hearings are sealed files where you cannot access them by simply going to the courthouse.  That is why I suggested contacting DCF and perhaps they can advise you when another hearing is set, and you can find out more at that time-or hire an attorney to do this.     The problem is that in Florida grandparents do not have visitation rights, absent circumstances such as you mention where grandparents are given temporary custody.  Make the call as soon as the new year starts and maybe you will have some success.   Best of luck, Cindy S.
