How do you sue a family member over visitation?

If money is tight, I would suggest contacting a local Legal Aid center. Usually, free legal clinics like that will have you meet with a volunteer lawyer there, who will assess your factual situation and determine whether the center can do something for you or, if your situation is particularly complicated, refer you to a lawyer who has a referral relationship with the center. At least, you may be able to get some information that will help you better formulate how to go about resolving the problem you're having with your grandfather's daughter. Sometimes, all it takes is a demand letter (i.e., a threat to sue) to prompt people to solve a problem without ever going into litigation.

Maybe your beef is just as much with the nursing home. They're the ones who seem to be under the impression that they have to obey the daughter. Maybe you could get them to check with their own attorney whether they really have to obey the daughter; maybe they'll figure out that they don't. (I guess they may also just want to stay on the daughter's good side if she controls the money that's paid to the nursing home. But if it's really just a legal thing, maybe they can sort it out for you.) In the meantime, if you have time, you might also go the the nursing home from time to time to ask if you can see you grandfather. Don't argue with them or anything; just show that you're trying. They might come to sympathize with you as the person who actually comes, rather than the one on the phone who just tries to prevent a man from seeing his grandaughter.

Contact the Family and Surrogate Court Clerks in the state and county where your grandfather lives. Ask them which court you need to file in. They are generally quite helpful and may be able to give you additional information that will assist you. Also, check out the legal site www.findlaw.com. It is a wealth of information about state and federal laws. It will take some research, but if you spend the time doing it, you will find the answers you need.

Good luck to you. I hope you will be able to visit your grandfather soon.

I personally think you have every right to see your grandfather, and as for his daughter doing that to you, I would just call a lawyer, and talk to his/her paralegal to see what your legal options on in this matter. His daughter, (not to my knowledge) can stop you from seeing him, even though she is Power Of Attorney of his possesions and money, I don't think by law she can make you stop seeing him, she would have to get a restraining order for you to have to legally stop seeing him. I would do the above, call a lawyer just to ask what your legal options would be, and if his daughter has the legal right to actually stop you from seeing your grandfather.

because the previous answering indicated - there aren't any such regulation matches - relations dynamics being what they're! This seems a habit practiced to punish kin for some imagined slights or gossip in protecting with rumour. If the mum and father do no longer choose you to have get top of entry to to their minor little ones (lower than 18) you have not got any rights in that remember. you would could document some very distasteful matches adversarial to oldsters accusing them of all sorts of misdeeds, the onus of proving the accusations on your head and heart.
