    Default Getting Grandparent Visitation in Ohio

    We have five grandchildren, living in Ohio, with my son and his wife.
    Somethings have come up, and she will not let us see the kids. We love
    those kids with all my heart. We have helped them out on several occasions. What can we do to get at least some visitation.

    Default Re: Getting Grandparent Visitation in Ohio

    According to the Ohio State Bar,
    Quote Quoting Q.: We are having a family dispute and now our son and daughter-in-law won't let us see our grandchildren. What can we do?
    A.: Probably nothing. Grandparents' visitation rights are statutory. There is no statutory right to a visitation order when the family is intact. Only children that are illegitimate, or have divorced or deceased parents may be the subject of court-ordered visitation. The reason is that generally, the right to be free from governmental interference in everyday life is a constitutionally protected right. Therefore, unless the State has some compelling interest (such as protecting a child that is illegitimate, has a deceased parent or is a ward of the court through divorce) it cannot order visitation.
