[...] It is a very unfortunate situation when grandparents are not able to see their grandchildren for wha…een you and your grown children. No matter what the case, there is hope for establishing grandparents visitation rights with your grandchildren, you just have to know your rights and be willing to pursue them. Child custody is never to be taken lightly. The truth is you can gain the rights to see your grandchildren on a more frequent basis through grandparents visitation rights. There are many, many cases heard each year in the United States for grandparents seeking visitation rights to see their grandchildren. The only issue that does often arise is that the rights for grandparents visitation rights vary from state to state, therefore if your grandchildren move you may be faced with starting all over again. There are steps that need to be taken in order to begin the process of obtaining your visitation rights, but first and foremost you must keep the children's good in mind. You do not want to do anything that would harm them emotionally. You may at times have to hold your tongue in an effort to protect them. Then you must also remember and follow these general "guidelines:" Grandparents rights are not new issues but are ever changing. Establish good communication. If at all possible begin by communicating with your children in an effort to make arrangements yourselves between the two of you. Set up some guidelines or rules between the two of you for visitation. This way you can agree and everyone can be happy with the arrangements that are made, without having to bring a third-party into the situation. Be aware of the law. Make sure that you do your research and that you know and understand the rights you as grandparents have in your state. You will then want to seek the help of an attorney. Make a lawsuit your last alternative. Lawsuits are not only costly, but very taxing emotionally for you and for your grandchildren. If all other attempts have failed then a lawsuit is your final alternative. Above all you are seeking a relationship with your grandchildren, this relationship is what is most important therefore, above all you must do everything that you can to strengthen or to create that relationship. The better your relationship is the better your chances for obtaining and maintaining visitation rights with your grandchildren. Don't be discouraged, you can keep the relationship with your grandchildren alive and thriving. Search out your rights and do whatever it takes. [...]

You most likely can. I need some more details before I can give you an opinion. How old are the kids? Where do they live? Was there a divorce?
