Grandparents Rights in CA
According to Section 3103 of the California Family Code, parents have the
right to deny a grandparent visitation with their child. Grandparents,
however, may petition the court in pursuit of visitation rights, which
a court can grant if it believes the arrangement is in the child’s
best interests.
Keep in mind that being granted visitation rights does not grant a grandparent the right to make any parenting decisions. Parents’ discretion is given special weight in grandparent visitation cases, so it can be difficult for a grandparent to successfully gain visitation rights if the child’s parent(s) do not feel it is in the child’s best interests. Because these cases are complex and challenging, you should enlist the support of a competent and trusted Sacramento grandparents’ rights attorney.
Seeking Custody as a Grandparent
Under certain circumstances – wherein a child’s biological parent is unfit or the child is found to be living in an unsafe environment – a grandparent may be granted custody rights. A grandparent may be granted legal custody, allowing them to make decisions about the child’s upbringing, or physical custody, which allows the child to live with them. To seek custody as a grandparent, you must join a live existing custody dispute. Bez Law Firm, P.C. can represent you in your efforts.
