Standing Up for Grandparents' Rights
When parents become estranged after a divorce, it is sometimes difficult for grandparents to have access to their grandchildren. In some cases, grandparents may fear for the welfare of the child because of the negligent behavior of the parents. In either case, grandparents may have legal rights in regard to child custody and visitation.
In order to petition the court for visitation rights, grandparents or other third parties must show they have a parent like relationship with the child and that denying visitation would cause harm to the child. Some of the factors that could go into proving that belief would be that:
- They have a pre-existing parent-like relationship with the child
- They raised the child for a period of time
- The parent/parents are unfit to raise the child
- Denying visitation rights to the grandparent would be detrimental to the child
