Grandparents Rights

[Gabby]

In a CPS Petition, it was recommended that we not get custody of our grandchildren, because we supposingly physically abused them with a switch, these accusations are not true. How can we address this charge? There are other matters on this petition that are false also involving our son. The grandchildren are in protective custody and we have not been able to see them or know how CPS is getting the information. If not addressed how will this effect our grandparental rights?

If the children are involved in a CPS action, you probably can't initiate an action for grandparent visitation while that action is pending. Laws and procedures vary by state. It would be a good idea to consult a family lawyer in your state.
