Yes there are grandparent rights in Pennsylvania and she may have the ability to get some visitation with the children, but the overwhelming factor in allowing any visitation is if it is in the best interest of the children. If she takes action and you can prove that it would not be in the children's best interest to have time with her, then the judge will likely rule on your side.
