Louisville Grandparents’ Rights Lawyers
Dedicated Legal Guidance You Can Rely On
In determining custody and visitation, grandparents are often left out of the process entirely--despite their intrinsic and irreplaceable role in a grandchild’s life. As a grandparent, you have invested a significant amount of love, time, and care into your grandchild’s upbringing. However, this is not always transferable in the eyes of the law and you may find yourself without legitimate rights to see or spend time with your grandchild.
Grandparents’ Rights & Visitation
Family courts are focused on protecting children above all else. The desires or preferences of family members are not factored into any decisions. Therefore, you may be granted grandparents’ visitation rights if and only if it is deemed to be in the child’s best interests.
If you are a grandparent who provided child support because your child is deceased, you may be awarded the same visitation rights as a parent. Adoption may complicate the process, especially if your child had his or her parental rights eliminated. However, the state of Kentucky generally allows visitation rights as long as they are deemed “reasonable” in the eyes of the law. If the child’s parents are divorced, you must be file papers in the same county the divorce was filed in.
