Long Island Grandparents’ Rights Attorney

Understanding Grandparent Custody & Visitation Rights in New York

If your son or daughter is navigating a divorce, you might be concerned about maintaining a relationship with your grandchildren, especially if there is resentment or bitterness between any of the parties.

Every state has different laws regarding the rights of grandparents. In New York, grandparents seeking visitation rights have the burden of proof to show their legal right to court-ordered time with the child.

When determining whether to approve visitation rights for grandparents, courts may consider:

The grandparent’s relationship with the child
The grandparent’s relationship with the child’s parents
How frequently the child has contact with the grandparent
Any history of abuse by the grandparent
How granting a grandparent visitation rights might affect a parent’s time with his/her child

In certain situations, a grandparent might be granted custody of a child if the parents are unfit to properly care for the child. Unfortunately, it can be harder for a grandparent to obtain custody than for a parent. At Jonathan E. Kroll & Associates, PLLC, we fight hard to help grandparents obtain custody if it is in the best interests of the child or children involved.

Contact us online or call (516) 324-3138 to get started on your visitation rights.
