New York Family Law Attorneys Lawyers - Grandparents Rights

If a grandparent or grandparents, seek visitation rights when both of the child(ren)'s parents are alive, New York State requires to Court to first seek to determine if the grandparents have standing to seek visitation.

The nature and the extent of the grandparent/grandchild relationship is an essential part of the investigation. The nature and the basis of a parent's objection to visitation is also essential to the investigation. The Court will then determine if it is in the best interests of the child to have grandparent visitation.

It is in the best interest of the Grandparent to retain an experienced family lawyer.
