What to do if my son’s ex-girlfriend is making it very difficult for my son to see his son?
And that in turn, makes it difficult for me, the grandmother, to see him as well. Do I have any rights? Can I seek visitation?

You can seek visitation through third party custody statutes as mentioned. An easier route, however, may be to get yoru son to either establish or enforce his custody rights, depending on the situation. In Minnesota, parents generally stand in much more powerful ground to seek out custody and parenting time.

Hello. Grandparents’ rights are governed by Minnesota Statutes §257C.08 and §518.1752. Additional statutes and regulations and legal opinions may apply to your specific circumstances. What is the best interests of the child is always paramount in the law. It certainly seems advisable that you confer with a family law attorney about the specifics to your situation. If I were to assist you, I would discuss the matter with you in great depth. I recommend you phone several Minnesota attorneys working in the field of family law in choosing an attorney to help you, because it is very important that you feel a sense of great trust with the attorney you choose to help you. Often family law problems are complex in nature and there is much to discuss to discern what is the best path of action. All the best to you and your family.
