Are you a grandparent seeking custody or access to your grandchild?
What Are a Grandparent’s Rights to Custody?
Although there are laws that specifically address grandparent visitation and custody, the grandparent is still considered as third party custody. In most cases the court is not obliged to give a grandparent leeway or special consideration. Without a legal form of grandparent custody, parents have a right to their children even if the grandparent is caring for them. The grandparent would have to prove the parents to be unfit in order for a consideration to be made in their favour.
