Question: My son lives in Tempe, Arizona attending school. He recently broke up with his fiancee in Cincinnati, Ohio because she tricked him into getting her pregnant. Since he broke up with her she is telling everyone she will not allow him or our family to see the child unsupervised, even if he pays child support. I live in Cincinnati and know this girl has taken drugs and has little regard for her own life and that scares me that she is going to be the mother of my son's child. What rights do I have as a grandmother, and what rights does my son have?
Answer: Your son is the one who has the most rights regarding this situation. As the father of the child he has the right to see the child and be a part of the child's life. I would recommend finding a good family law attorney in the Cincinnati area and going to court or working with her attorney to set up a parenting plan. Your rights as a grandmother will vary from state to state (we don’t have specific information on grandparent rights in Ohio). Usually the most a court will allow the grandparent to do is intervene if he/she believes the child is in danger, such as if the mother is using drugs. She can't deny him access to his child without a good reason (i.e. if he is a drug addict, or endangers the child in anyway).
