Grandparents certainly have rights but because the grandkids are out of state, utilizing your rights might become very expensive. You would need a lawyer to make your son-in-law cooperate with you and allow you guys to be able to talk to the kids, visit the kids, or have the kids come visit you and or even allow you to have video conferences. The sooner you get a lawyer to get you back in the kids lives the better it will be for you guys to get along with your grandkids. Otherwise, as kids grow up they tend to forget the people they don't normally connect with.
