Re: visitation
There are no statutory grandparent rights. Utah law allows for grandparents to have visitation time, but the request must be raised by the grandparents themselves. If children have been especially close to grandparents, or if the child-parent of the grandparents is not functioning well as a parent, courts will grant some time, usually not more than 1-2 days per month.
