Can grandparents or other relatives obtain court ordered visitation?
In very restricted circumstances reasonable visitation privileges may be granted to a grandparent, great-grandparent, or sibling of a child. If the circumstances exist that would grant the grandparent, great-grandparent, or sibling of a child standing to seek visitation, then the primary focus of the court is to determine whether there is an “unreasonable denial of visitation” and whether the visitation would be in the best interest of the child. It would be advisable to consult with an attorney to determine if you met the requisite criteria to seek visitation.
