In some situations, grandparents can file for visitation rights. However, this typically only applies in instances when a grandparent has a pre-existing bond with a grandchild and if that visitation is in the best interest of the child to grant grandparent visitation. They will also consider other factors including:
- When a parent has died
- When a stepparent adopts a grandchild
- When married parents are living separately or meet certain other requirements
