Grandparents’ Rights in California

Generally speaking, courts have determined that regular contact between a child and their grandparents can be greatly beneficial to a child’s wellbeing. In California, grandparents may seek reasonable visitation rights with their grandchild if there is a pre-existing relationship between the grandparent and grandchild that has been endangered, and that the relationship is in the child’s best interests. The grandparents’ visitation must also be in balance with the rights of the parents to make decisions about their child. Grandparents usually cannot request visitation rights if the child’s parents are married, except under the following circumstances:

  • If the child’s parents live separately
  • If the child’s parents’ whereabouts are unknown
  • One of the child’s parents joins the grandparents’ petition for visitation
  • The child does not live with either parent
  • The grandchild has been adopted by a stepparent
