Rights of the Grandparents to Visitation

1. If the parents are married and living together, then they determine the grandparents' right to visitation.

2. In all other situations, then the grandparents may petition the family court for visitation rights. The court will grant visitation rights if that would be in the best interests of the grandchild.
