Beside the parents, who can claim custody or visitation rights?
Generally, the only two people with rights to a child are the mother and the father; their parents. Sometimes a grandparent can have rights; such as if one of the parties dies, is incarcerated, or is otherwise unavailable or unable to take care of the child. Then, a grandparent or a blood relative might assume the right. However, generally, unless you’re the parent, you’re not going to have custody rights.
