What are grandparents’ rights?
Grandparents’ rights involve grandparents asserting rights to custody or visitation to a grandchild. Grandparents may become involved if they are prevented from seeing their grandchildren or if they feel that a child’s well-being is threatened by neglect, abuse, or drug or alcohol addiction. Many grandparents will pursue a case where a family dispute causes a parent to prevent the grandparent from seeing a grandchild.
Can I get visitation to see my grandchild?
In Kentucky, visitation may be granted to grandparents if the court determines that it is in the child’s best interests. Our attorneys will work with necessary professionals, interview witnesses and present all evidence needed to support your case to see your grandchildren. We will demonstrate to the court that it is in the best interests of the child to have contact and visitation with grandparents.
Can I get custody of my grandchild?
A grandparent who has been a primary caretaker of a child for a certain period of time, depending on the child's age, may be able to obtain the same rights as a regular parent. In other child custody and grandparents’ rights cases, the court will consider the wishes of parents and children, the relationship between the child and parents, the child’s adjustment to their home, school and community and the mental and physical condition of all persons involved. If you are seeking visitation or custody rights or you want to defend against the right of an intervening grandparent, please contact our office for an immediate consultation or case evaluation.
