Keeping Grandkids away from Grandparents..

I have always heard that the only way a grandparent could demand visitation is if their child had died and the parent left behind decided that they were not going to allow them to be around the child of their deceased child.

I don't agree with it for a minute, but that is what I have always been told.

Welp my daughter has grandparents who she loves better than life!! But her biological father is a drug addict and his parents can't help him but seem to think they can and well the situation is sad but he hasnt seen her since she was tiny and never cared about her then and i have not maintained a relationship with any of his family nor do i get anything from them. I'm married know and she looks at him and calls him daddy and he says she is his daughter. She is blessed has 2 sets of grandparents and grandparents and they all love her. In this case it was the best. I had no other choice.

Just wondering how a parent could keep a grandchild away from a grandparent that they love so well. They use the kid to hurt the grandparent and don't think about how the child feels. If you say a cross word they jerk them away from you again. This is not the first time this has happened. I think that one day the parent will pay for everything that they have taken away from this child. No concious at all. Can not get along with anyone for long. That just amazes me.

My question is which of this grandchilds parents did you give birth to, the mother or the father? And also,Did you keep your child from their grandparents as you raised him/her?

There is no such thing as grandparent rights in the state of ky unless you prove the parents are unfit an thats VERY hard to do I've been there

Count your blessing that they are raising there kids, most grandparents are raising there gkids now days, and that a shame for a child not to be raised by there own parents, but sometimes it's best for the child not to be around there mother or father.
There is so much drug abuse going on people rather have a pill instead of there child.

yea my son and his girlfriend had baby back in 2005 her parents packed them up and they all moved to tn my son says to get away from me yea 21 years in the same state were i raised him my son. yea yea yea her parents and her belittle me for being a mother well who raised mine ? her parents both are felones and i am the un normal on what ever it is all about CONTROL it is a sickness her parents moved away so they could be the apple of my grandsons eye that is fine the best way is to let them our grandkids will no someday they always do then they hate there parents in the long run for doing it to them because the grands kids by then no they got CHEATED for there bullshit than there kids live and never go around them it is all a big game to these women that get knocked up just to keep a man they try but they kids see in the long run what there parents did and they ask ?'s
it is just allful they call them parents there not parents they are kids them self trying to control not only there lives but ours to these kids that do this to parents need to be in the courts to let a judge see what they do in the long run to our grandkids if that happened our kids would not have kids they no the law will let them do it so why not/

i figure they will grow up and look you up if they want. some try to claim you are their grandparent when you don't know where they hell they produced!

If you would have raised your own kids right then they would not be keeping their kids your grandkids away from you.
there are reasons why people keep their kids away from the grandparents.

This is a thought, the raising of the kids but it's not completely the blame. In some instances there are good reasons behind people kee
ping other people away from the kids, their kids,sometimes it's drugs, violence, ways of living, way they were treated as children by the parents, living arrangement, and there are other reasons but if there isn't a good reason then it's wrong. Grandparents fill a spot that no other person can fill.

Sorry but you are wrong
Grandparents' Rights

"Louisville Family Law™"
As the divorce rate increases and child custody is often split among parents, a common misconception involving grandparents' rights has arisen. Most people assume that child custody and visitation are established strictly among parents, such that grandparents have no legal stake in the matter. However, in the State of Kentucky, grandparents often have the right to reasonable visitation with their grandchildren.

Louisville family law attorney Louis P. Winner, of Seiller Waterman LLC, provides dedicated advocacy for grandparents seeking to secure their visitation rights. He understands that grandparents can impart valuable life knowledge and provide additional support during a child's formative years.

If you would like to discuss grandparents' rights, contact attorney Louis P. Winner.

What Are Grandparents' Rights?
Grandparents' rights involve grandparents asserting their legal right to visitation of a grandchild. Grandparents often choose to enforce their rights where a parent purposely prevents them from seeing their grandchild or in cases where the grandchild's wellbeing is threatened by neglect, abuse or addiction.

Grandparents' Rights to Visitation in Kentucky
In Kentucky, grandparent visitation may be granted if the court determines among other things that it is in the best interests of the child. The court will make a decision based on an examination of a number of factors, including both the age of the grandchild and the existing relationship between the grandparent and grandchild.

As your dedicated legal representative, attorney Louis P. Winner will strive to demonstrate to the court that continual contact with a grandparent is in the child's best interests. Contact us for dedicated family law representation.

I am currently raising my grandchildren for the past few years because of a exstremely bad break-up between the parents. I worked hard to keep both parents in our lives through the years because the children needed thier parents. It was rough at first, but it got better and better. The parents deeply regreted the choices they madeafter a short time. They have worked hard to get their acts together. Have made spending time with thier kids #1 priority for the past couple of years. Step by step we have all gotten to the point of now giving the children back to thier parents in a joint custody agreement. The children want and need this, it is only natural. I raised my chilren never wanted to raise my grandchildren, but I have been from love of them and thier parents as well. This has been my role though. I have done my absolute best to the best of my knowledge. I hope soon my role is to be the doting grandparent as nature intended it to be.

You know I raised my son with all the love that was good i wanted him around good love. but other people with rotten ways can change our kids to be evil because they are evil and bring evil into our kids and our grandkids your right let them raise them grandkids they will find us when they leave home and they always leave home and then our kids will wonder why our grandkids don't have anything to do with them. and we will reply to our kids.
WELL YOU LIED TO THAT CHILD ALL THERE LIFE ABOUT THERE GRANDPARENTS ! WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY THINK ?
TRUST. YOU LIED TO ME ABOUT LOVE !

I would never keep my baby away from his grandparents just because they may say or do something I don't like, which they don't. Now money for gas to go over there all the time is something else and my mom lives far away, so it is hard to go see her. Lol One of my parents could punch me in the face and I would still take my boy to see them.

chey your a normal mother you will go far and your child will have a heathly life were the ones that keep us away from our grandkids wont always let your kids see there grandparents always you won't be sorry this young lady i an deaking with is all about attion with her self and it is no longer working with me only her parents see my grandson and my son i am out of the piture that is sad because there not a good family but god will see she pays someday god love you always and you will be blessed for caring about your kids

i dont know

what about those parents that let grandma keep their kid 24/7 and never do or give her anything in return, not even at tax time after they collect from claiming the kid has lived with them, that's what i call a FREELOADER

i see your point middlesboro mom i think our kids think we owe them for life. well i don't my son and i were very close until he had my grandson than her family talked so down about me that he was brainwashed by them to have my grandson all to there self and it worked for them well when my son losses me one day thats when he will hate them for it because he is going to want to blame somebody who other than them i wish them the best with him now but the hate they will recive latter in life will hit them all like a ton of bricks they will feel his love then he than will no he should have spent more time with his mother and she and her family will be heart broken just like i have been all the years so far so if my sons wife thinks life is on her side and that she will be sorry one day well she better get right cause it is coming oh yea it is coming

Well me and my child pulls together to raise her child. We have since day one. She works and I keep the baby (now 3) and on her days off (she gets 2) she spends them w/ her baby. The daddy gets her on weekends so it works out for all of us. We all take turns and get breaks. They are seperated by the way. My child pulls her own weight with making sure the child has food, her wic, and her doctors appt. & her clothing. My child has worked since she was 14. Shes paid her own way since that. Shes bought and paid for 2 vehicles and has never been in trouble(don't do drugs) and is very responsible where her life & child is concerned and believe you me shes been tested. We are very proud of her. Baby was planned also. Sounds to good to be true but it works for all of us and the baby is happy and healthy, loves and is close to all of us. If everybody pulls together it works out for the baby and you.

Thank you miss Tammi and I hope that everything gets better. It is ridiculous to keep a child away from their grandparents. I can't even imagine how you must feel. I am sorry. That baby is missing out too and that is just pitiful.

What children need most are the essentials that grandparents provide in abundance. They give unconditional love, kindness, patience, humor, comfort, lessons in life. And, most importantly, cookies.~Rudolph Giuliani
