If both parents are agreeable to the situation, or the parent wishing the child to pay his or her grandparents a visit receives permission from the court that issued the custodial order.
No. There are no such direct legal rights that benefit grandparents. The sole authority of a parent over their own child should always be paramount in the law. No other person can be allowed to break that right without just cause. Grandparents can report cases of abuse or neglect. They can attend the family group conference when allegations of abuse or neglect are being evaluated. They can petition for an order of guardianship if the case progresses to family court. They have no right to demand visitation rights or custody when there is no abuse or other problem present. See related link.

If it was the court that awarded the grandparents temporary custody there must have been a reason. If the court considered you not to be a "fit" parent at the time you may have to offer convincing evidence that you are NOW a fit parent. File a motion with the court to regain custody of the child(ren). If the custody was ruled only 'temporary' the court realizes that it is not necessarily permanent situation.Generally when a person says they gave temporary custody to grandparents they actually mean to say they consented to the appointment of the grandparents as temporary guardians. The appointment is then made by the court. In that case the parties must return to court to terminate the guardianship order and the court will hear testimony to make certain the change is in the best interest of the child.

For the grandparents to get the custody over the parent, they have to go through a court case and prove to their case to have custody.
No, minors have no legal "standing" in their own custody matters. Their input is sometimes asked and listened to, but the court is the final decision-maker. The Grandparents can petition the court for your custody, but they would have to be prepared to demonstrate why their custody would be better for your situation than what you currently have.
Certainly, if they can prove to the court it would be in the best interests of the child to grant such custody.
