Legal Question in Family Law in Wyoming

Re: Grandparent visitation rights

Yes, as grandparents you have rights to visitation with your granddaughter and you can file a lawsuit asking for those rights to be formalized by the court. You will have to sue your daughter.

The statute you cite, and which sets out what you must show to the court, is 20‑7‑101. Establishing grandparents' visitation rights.

It says: (a) A grandparent may bring an original action against any person having custody of the grandparent's minor grandchild to establish reasonable visitation rights to the child. If the court finds, after a hearing, that visitation would be in the best interest of the child and that the rights of the child's parents are not substantially impaired, the court shall grant reasonable visitation rights to the grandparent. In any action under this section for which the court appoints a guardian ad litem, the grandparent shall be responsible for all fees and expenses associated with the appointment.

If your daughter remarries before the Court hears your request, you must also designate her husband as a defendant, as he would also then be a person having custody of your granddaughter.

Unless you have a copy of your daughter's decree, you might want to sue both of them anyway, to finally settle the matter of your visitation rights among all of you.

Best wishes.
