Walk It Through: The Grandchild After a Death
A son who died, a daughter in law who stops the visits, the years of care, and a petition in Circuit Court.
A grandmother's son dies. His widow stops letting the grandmother see the grandchild.
Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.
A grandparent whose child has died. Grandparents seeking custody, and visitation where both parents are living and object, are not worked through here.
A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
