Grandparents have rights in Georgia to seek custody or visitation with their grandchildren. The court will determine custody based on the best interest of the child standard. This standard requires the grandparent to show that parental custody would harm the child; and that in granting custody to the grandparent it will promote the child’s health, welfare and happiness.
