They can try but they will not win unless you are unsuitable parents. Some states have laws regarding grandparents rights to see their grandchildren so they can win visitation right if you are in such state.

∙ 10y agoYes. Grandparents are often awarded custody of grandchildren when they are neglected or their parents are unable to provide a safe, stable environment. The grandparents should seek the advice of an attorney who specializes in custody issues. They would need to petition the probate court to be appointed legal guardians. It is much easier if the parents will consent. Otherwise, the grandparents will need evidence and testimony of profesionals. The court will appoint a guardian ad litem to make an evaluation of the situation and report back to the judge.
