Answer:

It seems your parental rights were terminated. To regain custody, you would need to have that order set aside and your rights reinstated. If the grandparents have custody but your rights were not officially terminated, you can file to modify the custody arrangement. Ideally, if your son and the grandparents agree to allow you to regain custody, you can proceed with a legal process to reinstate your rights.

FAQs

The three levels of parental alienation are mild, moderate, and severe. Mild alienation may involve subtle behaviors that create distance between the child and the targeted parent. Moderate alienation includes more overt actions, such as badmouthing the parent or limiting contact. Severe alienation can lead to the child completely rejecting the targeted parent, often due to intense manipulation by the alienating parent. Understanding these levels can help in addressing the issue legally and emotionally.
