The Legal Basics Of Grandparents’ Rights
In Washington, grandparents’ rights are recognized, especially in circumstances where it serves the child’s best interest.
Grandparents can petition for visitation rights and, in some cases, custody of the child. However, these rights are not automatic and must be pursued through legal channels.
Our lawyers are here to guide you through this process, ensuring you understand your rights and what steps are necessary to uphold them.
Factors Considered In Granting Grandparents Visitation
When determining whether to grant visitation rights to grandparents, courts consider several factors, including:
- The relationship between the grandparent and grandchild
- The emotional ties existing between them
- The impact of such visitation on the child’s well-being
It all comes down to the positive role you play in your grandchild’s life. We can help highlight that role and maintain a loving connection.
