. In Indiana, the court can grant visitation rights to a grandparent if the court determines that visitation would be in the best interests of the grandchild. A grandparent may only be entitled to visitation if
The grandchild�s parent is dead, or
the marriage of the grandchild�s parents are divorced or
the child was born outside of marriage. However, if you are the father's parents, paternity has to be established.
