Grandparents in California can request visitation rights under certain circumstances that include:
- When a parent has died
- When a stepparent adopts a grandchild
- When married parents are living separately or meet certain other requirements
When making the decision, the court weighs the child’s best interests and the value of maintaining a grandparent-grandchild relationship against the parents’ rights. Grandparents’ visitation rights cases can be intricate so for support in these matters, consider reaching out to Kendall Gkikas & Mitchell, LLP.
