Re: grandparents visitations

You should file a petition for visitation with your grandchild. In Georgia, a grandparent is entitled to visit with the grandchild upon a showing that it would be in the child's best interest. Contact a local attorney for assistance.

Because this matter is of such importance, you should contact a local attorney familiar with this area of the law. Grandparents do have certain rights. You might take a look at O.C.G.A. Sec. 19-7-3.
