My kids were adopted by a family who is not a relative can my mom still get visitation rights in the state of nj

Thank you for your question.  I know how worried you must be about your appeal rights and your mother’s visitation rights.  The short answer is that your mother may possibly have visitation rights and you may have further appeal rights.  With respect to your mother’s visitation rights, in some limited instances, depending upon the circumstances, it might be possible for the court to entertain a “grandparent” visitation application post-adoption.  There are several factors the court will consider when deciding whether or not your mother is entitled to grandparent visitation.  Additionally, depending upon which level of the appeal process you are in, you may have additional appeal rights.  However, there are very strict deadlines for filing any additional appeals.  You should therefore immediately contact an experienced family law attorney to protect your interests and ensure that your rights are preserved.   I hope this information was helpful to you.
