Grandparents Rights

Grandparents do have legal rights in Ohio. This includes both custody and grandparent visitation. Grandparents can ask a court to grant them the right to continue their relationships with their grandchildren, especially in cases of divorce or unmarried parents. The court usually will make rulings based on the well-being of the children involved.

Grandparents Rights

On the issue of grandparents being granted custody of their grandchild or grandchildren, a grandparent may file a complaint against the parents. If it can be proven that both parents are unfit, the grandparent may be granted custody. The grandparent also needs to demonstrate that it is in the best interest of the child or children involved to be placed in their custody.

These cases can be extremely emotional for obvious reasons. The last thing you ever want to deal with is fighting against your own children over the custody of your grandchildren on top of filing a case to state that your own child is an unfit parent.
