Our grandchildren live with our former daughter-in-law. She is now refusing to let us see them. Can she deny us contact?

No. It is unlikely to be in the children's best interest that they do not see their grandchildren and a court would order her to let you see the children as it is in their best interest to do so. Unless she can be persuaded to be reasonable you will have no alternative other than to apply to the court for a contact order.
