Yes, see Va. Code Sec. 20-124.1 wherein grandparents are specifically recognized as persons with a legitimate interest in visitation with their grandchildren which they may sue for, if necessary.

Grandparents can petition for visitation. The judge will determine whether he/she feels appropriate. Web: www.sherylshanelaw.com. Ask Attorney Sheryl Shane.
