Helping Grandparents Seek Visitation Rights in Columbia, Richmond, and Burke Counties

The grandparent-grandchild relationship is one of the most special and cherished bonds in a family. For many grandparents, their grandchildren are the light of their lives. They take pride in watching them grow and learn, and they enjoy sharing their knowledge and wisdom with the next generation. Unfortunately, sometimes families experience disputes that threaten this bond. 

At Alex M. Brown Law, LLC, we help grandparents protect their relationships with their grandchildren. We understand the importance of this bond, and we work hard to help our clients obtain the visitation time and custody that they need to maintain a meaningful connection with their grandchildren.

How Do Courts Decide Grandparent Visitation?

In Georgia, grandparents can seek visitation when they have been denied access to their grandchild by a child’s parent, as sometimes happen when families break up during a divorce, or when the grandparent has a reasonable belief that their grandchild may be in harms way, such as if a parent has a substance abuse problem or in the face of domestic violence. 

Therefore, a court may award a grandparent visitation rights when:

• The grandchild’s health and wellbeing is in question
• Visitation is in the emotional or financial best interest of the grandchild
• The grandchild has already been living with their grandparent for at least six months
• The grandparent has been providing for their grandchild for a year or more
• Regular visitation between grandparent and grandchild has already been established

In any case, the goal of the court is to ensure the best interests of the child are protected.
