My daughter just informed me that she no longer wants me in her life or my grandchildrens lives. This stems from a visit I had with my grandchildern, I became violenty ill and started throwing up. I was on the floor in the bathroom and couldn't get up for at least 30 min. The 1 and 3 year old were left unsupervised in the living room. I called my daughter on the phone at work and told her what was going on. I explained that I was unable to care for the kids and she needed to come and pick them asap. she told me there was no way she could leave work and pick them up. I told her leaving them here right now was not an option, she hung up on me. I didn't know what to do, she eventually sent a friend to pick them up. She said I yelled at her, but she couldn't come up with any other reasons why she no longer wants me to see my grandchildren. I have been a big part of there lives, I use to be there nanny when she went to work because the stay at home dad went to jail. I want visitations .
State/Country relating to Question: Colorado Already Tried: nothing this just happened today.
To obtain the visitation order, a grandparent simply needs to file a motion and an affidavit in the District Court where the grandchild resides. A filing fee may also need to be paid. The party with legal custody of the grandchild may file opposing affidavits, if, for example, the person with custody of the grandchild does not want the grandparent to have visitation or if the person with custody opposes the proposed visitation schedule. If neither party requests a hearing, the court is required to enter an order granting visitation to the grandparent, but only if the court finds that visitation is in the best interests of the grandchild.
No grandparent may file an affidavit seeking an order granting grandparent visitation rights more than once every two years, unless the grandparent can show the court good cause for doing so. The court may award attorney fees to the prevailing party. The court may make an order modifying or terminating grandchild visitation rights whenever such order would serve the best interests of the grandchild. If a person with legal custody does not comply with a grandparent visitation order, the court may invoke its contempt powers to enforce the visitation rights.
