In Missouri, grandparents may petition the court for visitation rights if it’s in the best interest of the child, particularly when the child’s parents are divorced or one parent is deceased.
The court considers factors such as the grandparent-grandchild relationship and family dynamics when deciding visitation rights.
If you are facing challenges in maintaining contact with your grandchildren or need to establish visitation legally, consulting an attorney can clarify your options and rights.
Legal assistance is important to navigate the court system effectively and protect your relationship with your grandchildren.
While less common than visitation, grandparents can seek custody if it can be shown that doing so serves the child’s best interests and in cases where parents are unable or unfit to care for the child.
Each case is unique and requires careful legal evaluation and presentation.
