Ohio recognizes in the inherent right of parents to make decisions
regarding their children's upbringing. But grandparents also have rights that are statutorily defined.
If grandparents are prohibited from seeing their
grandchildren the courts can
become involved, in certain circumstances, to determine if the statutory
requirements are met for granting
grandparent time.
The most crucial requirement for the assertion of grandparent rights is there be a court action involving a "divorce, dissolution of marriage, legal separation, annulment, or child support proceeding" involving the child. Once a court has jurisdiction over a child, that court can also determine whether grandparents should be permitted visitation rights with their grandchild.
The Nicodemus Law Office has worked with
both parents and grandparents in these
matters. Whether you are a
grandparent yearning to see your grandchild or a
parent seeking to prohibit grandparent time,
