In the U.S., grandparents do have rights in regards to visiting their grandchildren, whether it is after a divorce or even if the parents were never married. However, the laws of each state vary and so it is important to be aware of these differences. In Kansas, the court may award grandparents visitation rights if they find it to be in the best interests of the child. The only thing which could change this is if the child is adopted into another family. In Kentucky, the court is more likely to grant visitation rights if the grandparents had previously contributed to child support. With this said, it is possible that you would be successful is requesting time with your granddaughter. However, as you will most likely need to prove that it is in your granddaughter’s best interests to be able to spend time with you, it is highly recommended that you seek representation from an attorney in your local area.
