Grandparent Visitation Rights

Grandparents are generally a wonderful memory of childhood.  However, when family discord happens, parents may, unfortunately, attempt to restrict a grandparent’s access to their grandchildren.

New York State recognizes the rights of grandparents to have a relationship with their grandchildren.  This provides grandparents with an avenue for remedy when they find themselves excluded from their grandchildren’s lives.
