Re: Grandparent Visitation
The grandparent visitation statute only allows the court to grant grandparent visitation if the custody of the child has been addressed by the court in another proceeding such as a divorce. In your case, the statute will not allow you to get visitation. In addition, there are substantial questions about the constitutional power of the court to grant grandparent visitation over the objection of both parents.
