Does anyone know anything about visitations rights for grandparents? [View all]

This situation is a bit complicated.

My son is father to two teenagers from his marriage, and a decade later, two littles from his partner (not married).

The older ones and I were deeply bonded in their young childhoods. I babysat regularly, in my home, we had a wonderful time together. I haven't had a lot of access in the last four years -- and at Christmas when I did see them, the girl burst into tears -- crying and crying and saying "I haven't seen you in so long..." Very sad.

Son and partner are moving across the country now, taking the littles with them, and allowing the teens to choose whether they wanted to go, or stay here with their birth mother (who has shared custody since divorce, and is a difficult person).

They chose to stay with their difficult mother here, except for vacation time. Teenagers, friends, yada. Their beloved dad will go, with the littles, thousands of miles away.

Do I have a right to ask that some visitation time with me be part of this agreement between my son and the birth mother?

And if I have no money for an attorney, what could I do to make this happen?

My home is like their childhood home of peace and safety in some ways. No arguing between adults, no stress, they love it here and it really is the HOME of their young years.

I'm so sad. For them, and for me.
