Grandparent Rights in Gwinnett County

Grandparent Visitation Rights in Gwinnett County, GA

According to § 19-7-3, the Superior Court in the State of Georgia recognizes the grandparent’s right to legal visitation rights following a Petition for Visitation. The court can determine the best interests of the child, the possible adoption of the child or termination of parental rights.

The court will take the following factors into consideration when determining whether or not to grant visitation:

  • The child's relationship with their grandparents
  • The child's physical and emotional safety
  • The parent's wishes
  • The child's wishes
  • If awarding visitation would be in the best interests of the child

In today's society, many families are affected by separation and divorce. At times, in the aftermath of a breakup or divorce, the grandparents lose contact with their grandchildren. This typically happens to the mother and father of the non-custodial parent. In effect, the strong bond between the grandparents and their grandchild can be torn as they are denied visitation by the custodial mother or father.


If you have a concern about your rights to visitation of your grandchild, we urge you to contact a Gwinnett County grandparents' rights lawyer from the Fox Firm, P.C. today.
