My wife and I are the grandparents of our 3 grandchildren which currently belong to our daughter. We are seeking to get custody of them, as she has a drinking problem, she moves them constantly and the oldest is constantly changing schools. She also mentally abusive to them. Is it possible for us to get custody? We are 48 years old.

REVIEW: Daughter 16,pregnant and talking abortion. Then living in Wisconsin packed up and left for Ohio where there is mostly family contact and less likely help with previous procedure. Happy loving baby girl staying in our home until mother came to retrieve her last night even with her stating” Please, I don’t want to go with you!!”. They have moved into a government funded apartment with mother’s boyfriend and daughters younger son. The boyfriend is the father of the younger boy but pays no support. We are worried for my grand-daughters safety PLEASE HELP

My son and daughter in-law had a disolussionment 3 yrs ago. I called family court. I was told that as a grandmother I had no rights. My son would have to intitate them. Until recently. I was told by a friend that grandparents do have rigfht in the state of Ohio. The grandchildren, girl yrs. and the boy 14 yrs. Share the same bedroom, There are occassions where the mother sometimes sleep with the boy. She has let the girl stay with her boyfriends house for over 8 days. She has lost her job as a school bus driver due to intocication & drugs. She is being evicted because of the neigbors complaints. The police have a dosier on her about an inch thick.
The girl is failing school. The boy who use to be on the merit roll each year. Is now getting terrible grades. Their Dad tried to get them into conseling. The refused to go and the mother made no attempt to encourage them. Their father, who is in law enforement has his hands tied because they can lie verberly abuse him with profaniety and he can do nothing. If he did punish them it would never be carried out by the mother. It’s a very difficult situation when you have a house will no rules or goals compared to a home with quidlines. It breaks my heart in two to see these porecious children go down the path of destruction. They were such good children. I still believe there is a chance to help save them to be constructive individuals again. Providing they get the right counseling. Don’t know if any one can help me. I would be open to any suggestions.

Is it absolutely necessary to hire an attorney to get grandparent visitation rights? Or, can I simply fill out a form requesting visitation rights and file it at the court house?
