Grandparents do have legal rights to visitation, in many states. My MIL was granted legal visitation rights to see her granddaughter, whom she helped raise. My SIL is always angry at the family, though, so it didn't cause any alienation that wasn't already there.
What a terrible thing! Good advice Minda has for you.

Some questions for you:
What are the terms of your daughter's divorce from the boy's father?
Does she have the right to take the boys out of state?
If the father has the right to keep her from taking them out of state, and he is willing to take both boys into his home, maybe you can use your limited funds to help him get legal assistance to keep the boys in your state.
If this does happen we all know where your grandsons will be most of the time, with you. Praying that something good happens ASAP. May in Jersey
