Depends on what state you live in. In VA Grandparents can have visitation rights just like a biological father, if they show they can and have cared for the child while in their care. ........................................................................................................................................ I live in Ohio and 4 yrs ago got grandparent visitation for my grandson. I had to have the mom and dad sign the papers and in doing that I didnt have to go to court which save money. I heard they changed the law since then but I am not 100% sure. Grandparents should have rights to see their grandbabies. We are an important part of their lives. Can you imagine your life without your grandparents??? I know I could not...........

∙ 11y agoSome states have grandparents rights in the law so the grandparents can seek visitation. Others do not. Without going to court the grandparents only have the rights the parents allow them to have.

∙ 10y agoIn many states Grandparents don't have any special rights as far as their Grandchildren go. However, there are some states where Grandparents have the legal right for visitation with their Grandchildren and if it is not provided to them within these states they can take it to court and fight for visitation just as a husband and wife would when getting a divorce.

Can the son's paternal grandparents take him from his mother?
Need more info in order to to answer. Taken by who? For what reason? Where is the father in all this? In what part, if any, do the PATERNAL grandparents enter into this?

How do you stop a adoption as a grandparent?
Unfortunately grandparents don't have many rights when it comes to adoption. I think an appeal of sorts can be put in, but I don't think there's much a grandparent can do to prevent adoption.
Can one parent terminate their parental rights and the other just give legal guardianship to a grandmother?
The court decides if he is allowed to terminate his parental rights. The custodial parent can then give custody to a grandparent if they wish. Both of you would then have3 to pay child support to the grandparent. Terminating parental rights does not get you out of paying for the child.
