You love your grandchildren and have spent a lot of quality time with them.

This is not uncommon, as two earner households and the high cost of daycare often puts grandparents in the role of caretaker.
The state of Utah recently passed a law colloquially referred to as the "free range parenting law." The bill was introduced in January by Utah State Senator Fillmore. What the law actually does is change the definition of child neglect.
When an unmarried couple has a child, paternity is not a given. In the eyes of the law, the mother is the sole parent of the child. A father is not recognized as having legal rights in relation to the child until paternity is established.
