Grandparents' Rights Visitation rights for
grandparents is a complicated area of the law, and the law varies
from state to state. It used to be that grandparents had a
right to an ongoing relationship with their grandchildren if the
grandchildren's parents divorced, but that changed with a June,
2000 Supreme Court decision that essentially said that parents
have the right to determine whether or not grandparent
visitation would occur. Since that time, states have been
writing new laws. Some have withstood court rulings and
others have not.
|
| At this time, there is not a
definitive answer about grandparents' rights and
visitation. If you are concerned about maintaining a
relationship with your grandchildren, contact a family-law
attorney.
