There is nothing quite like being a grandparent. If your son or daughter is going through a divorce or has children while unmarried, you may have a difficult time seeing your grandchildren. Under Illinois law, the grandparent-grandchild relationship is a privilege and not a right. However, grandparents may have a limited legal right to visit their grandchildren.
While you do not have an absolute right to a relationship with your grandchildren, in certain circumstances, you have the option to petition the court for time with them.
In some very specific circumstances, you could obtain custody of your grandchildren.
