What about grandparents’ rights?
Grandparents have limited rights regarding custody. In some circumstances, grandparents may intervene in pending custody actions to ask for visitation. In very limited cases, it may be appropriate for grandparents to ask for custody of their grandchild where the child’s parents have chosen, in some way, to ignore their right to parent, have delegated to a third party the right to parent the child or when the parents are determined by the court to be unfit.
