The "Best Interests of the Child" Standard Applies Here
Like any other legal proceeding involving children, the standard that any court will follow is called the "best interests of the child." According to New Jersey law, grandparents do have the right to visitation with their grandchildren if they can prove that such visitation is in the best interests of the grandchildren.
This best interests standard relies on numerous factors that we will work to show on your behalf. Such factors include:
- The relationship between the child and the grandparent
- The time that has lapsed since the child and grandparent were last in contact
- The parenting time/visitation arrangement between the parents
It is important to understand that your visitation time cannot interfere with any court-ordered parenting time. Our experienced family law attorneys will be able to review all relevant factors when creating your claim for grandparent visitation rights. We will also ensure that we are here to answer your questions and address your concerns throughout the process.
