Can a Parent Transfer His Parental Rights to the Child's Grandparents

And if the other parent does not object?

So what I'm getting from all this is that Grandparents have absolutely no legal right to see a grandchild, and there is nothing a father can do (short of bringing the child to them in person) to make it so they can have visitation with the child in his absence.

And that's the way it is. They could make nice with Mom.

Correct. Grandparents have no legal rights to their grandchildren, at all, in Florida.

Yep.

Just to emphasize what the other very well educated and experienced posters...

There are two states in the US where grandparents have absolutely no standing to petition the court for visitation. These states are Florida, and Washington.

I do recall maybe one or two, but we're talking about extreme circumstances to say the least.

And that's how it should be.
