Our son suffered a bitter divorce. Our ex-daughter-in-law has custody and refuses to let us see our grandchildren without her presence – and only in her home. We would love to entertain them in our home, or take them out for a treat, as we used to do prior to the divorce but she refuses and starts taking it out on our son, too, if we “step out of line” and dare to ask about this. Do we have a right to meet our grandchildren without their mother’s presence ?

The court can then decide on visitation rights – and how they should be exercised.
