Grandparent Visitation Order

A Grandparent Visitation Order is a legal document issued by the court that grants visitation rights to a grandparent. The order may be necessary if the parents are unwilling or unable to allow the grandparent to have contact with the child. The court will consider the best interests of the child in determining whether to grant visitation rights, including factors such as the relationship between the child and the grandparent, the impact of the visitation on the child’s relationship with the parents, and any potential harm or benefit to the child. A Grandparent Visitation Order helps ensure that the child has the opportunity to maintain important family relationships.
