Can mother refuse to allow me to see grandchild after divorce?

Hello. I had expected that after the divorce my son would have the right during contact visits to take his daughter to see anyone. This seems not so. There seems to be no child arrangement in the divorce, only residency. To the great detriment of both of us, the mother has refused all contact between me and granddaughter for 18 months, now coming up 13, and has told my son if he goes against that she will stop him seeing his daughter.
Question is, post divorce, can she dictate who the father takes his daughter to see? Thank you.
