We would like to see our grandchildren one is 5 & 13.

I see that you reside in Pennsylvania. I'm a Baltimore County child custody lawyer in Maryland, so my legal knowledge is based on Maryland law and may not align perfectly with Pennsylvania's laws, but I can provide a general perspective on your situation. In many states, including Maryland, grandparents do have the right to petition the court for visitation rights with their grandchildren. Courts usually consider a variety of factors when determining whether to grant grandparents' visitation rights, including the strength of the relationship between the grandparent and grandchild, the potential benefit to the child, and any possible harm. Given your history of involvement in raising your grandchildren, these could potentially be strong points in your favor. However, there are often several hurdles to overcome. One key hurdle is that courts typically give significant weight to the decisions of the custodial parents, so if your daughter and her new husband do not want you to see the grandchildren, you will likely have to present a strong case showing why the court should override their decision. My law firm wrote an article on the issue of grandparents' visitation rights, which analyzed how the US Supreme Court has addressed the issue. In light of these complexities, it would be prudent to consult with a local family law attorney who is knowledgeable about grandparents' rights in your state. They can provide you with guidance based on the specifics of your case and help you understand your options under Pennsylvania law. Remember, the best interests of the children are the primary consideration in these situations, and courts will aim to make decisions accordingly.
