Yes. It is up to the Court to grant permission for this, and usually it is granted. Intervention would permit the grandparents to get notice of and attend court hearings, and file their own motions in the case. Grandparents contemplating intervention are advised to get a lawyer. Other relatives may ask to intervene, but that is less often allowed.
