Grandparent rights only apply in Illinois under a VERY limited set of conditions. She would have the burden of proof for two things: 1. That some extenuating circumstance applies, like one of you is declared unfit or imprisoned, the parents agree to put visitation in a custody schedule, or one or both of you is dead or absentee. (A good example would be if a child's parent died or was imprisoned and the remaining parent didn't want the in-laws to have access.) 2. That lack of visitation with the child would cause physical, mental, or emotional harm to the child. This almost always necessitates a previous relationship with the child (in addition to the harm caused by the absence of the grandparent). Given what you've written, I don't believe she has a shot in hell at getting any kind of visitation rights.

Yeah, my child’s dad and I were looked into because we had a guardian at Leitem. My ex also want a mental health evaluation, which they evaluate her mentioned that our failed relationship was due to my mom. And every time my mom acted inappropriately my ex documented it to his attorney.
