Can't see kids

[blitz123]

My girlfriend and I have been dating for over 2 years now, she has 2 children but her parents have legal guardianship of them. I had a great relationship with the kids and was able to see them on a daily basis up until about a year ago when my girlfriend and I got into altercation, it lasted about a day but then was resolved and we have been great ever since. Unfortunately her parents from then on decided to hate me and refused to let the children have any contact with me, or to let the kids come over to our house. If they do come over I can not be home. Its been almost a year since Ive seen her kids and her parents are tearing our relationship apart.

I know that because I am not related to the kids that I have no legal right to do anything, but does my girlfriend?

Does her mother have a right to say the kids cant come to our house if I am home? Remind you, its my house.

Is there anything I can do, to be able to see the kids again?

You have no rights, as you've said.

And depending on what type of guardianship or custody the grandparents have, your girlfriend might have problems too.

Do you have any sort of restraining order against you?

Why do the grandparents have the kids to begin with?

Please tell the truth - it's important.

I don't no what kind of guardianship they have set up and there is no restraining order against me or my girlfriend. Her parents have the kids because she was unable to support them financially. Her daughter has special needs so its difficult to afford everything that she requires to progress with her disability.

My girlfriends parents told her that she could sign over guardianship and they would take care of them financially but she would still be the parent and make the choices in raising the kids they way she believed. About a month into it, all that went out the window and her parents took total control.

Was this done through the courts?

Honestly - until we know the legal standing (and your girlfriend should have SOME sort of paperwork explaining that), it's hard to go any further.
