My daughter is a single parent to my six-year-old grandson. Being a single parent I would try and help her out as much as possible with child care.
A few months ago she got into a new relationship. I do not think my daughter’s new partner is good for her or my grandson.
Since I told my daughter about my concerns she has stopped me seeing my grandson. As a grandparent do I have any rights and if so what can I do to see my grandson?
