Akron Grandparent Visitation Attorney

Summit County Grandparent Visitation Lawyer

In Ohio, visitation rights can be awarded to a grandparent during or after a divorce, dissolution or legal separation case if the grandparent has an interest in the welfare of the child visitation is in the best interest of the child. Grandparents can be granted or denied visitation with their grandchildren:

• When married parents terminate their marriage by divorce or separation by legal separation;
  
• When a parent of a child dies; and
  
• When a child is born to an unmarried woman.
  

A court in such circumstances may order reasonable grandparent visitation if it is in the best interest of the grandchild(ren). Issues of grandparent rights of visitation with grandchildren are appropriate and reasonable to further the legitimate welfare of grandchildren.
