http://community.greatschools.net/q-and-a/441130/Has-anyone-been-able-to-successfully-obtain-grandparents-visitation-in-the-state-of-OHIO Our ex son-in-law has been awarded sole custody and immediately cut off all contact between our grandchildren and us. These kids spent nearly every weekend with us, most of the summers, and school holidays for the past 3 years. They are 12 and 17. He is involved with the CPS for a multitude of complaints and they seem to be supporting his decision! We are decent, honest people and we LOVE our grandchildren. Their only vacations have been with us. He got sole custody by deceiving the courts and not cooperating in communicating with my daughter regarding the children and now WE have lost our relationship with them...a healthy relationship. I have boxes of photos of fun times and experiences with them. We have clothed the kids, paid medical bills (including securing the medical treatments), provided telephones for them (which he hasn't't allowed them to even use). He has a history of spousal abuse and child abuse, but no one cares (ABOUT THE CHILDREN!!!) OHIO??? GreatSchools en-us justgrandma Thanks for the suggestion.
