Grandparents Rights

What is Grandparents Rights?

Grandparents' rights refer to the legal provisions that allow grandparents to maintain relationships with their grandchildren, even in challenging family situations. These rights can become crucial in cases of divorce, separation, or the death of a parent. In Missouri, grandparents may seek visitation rights under specific circumstances, such as when a grandchild's parents divorce or when one parent passes away. The court considers various factors, including the child's best interests and the nature of the existing grandparent-grandchild relationship. It's important to note that grandparents' rights are not automatically granted and may require legal intervention. If you're a grandparent facing challenges in maintaining a relationship with your grandchild, Ott Law Firm can help navigate the complexities of family law. Our experienced attorneys understand the emotional and legal aspects of these cases and are committed to protecting your rights while prioritizing the well-being of your grandchild.
