Rights of Grandparents & Others
Question:
What are the rights of grandparents for visitation after divorce?
Answer:
Grandparents’ rights flow through the parents.
A grandparent can work out time with the grandchild by scheduling it with the grandchild’s parents. In most cases, that works out fine.
If, however, the grandparents’ own son/daughter does not want little Johnny to see Grandma, then Grandma has no avenue to petition the family court for visitation.
