Grandparents' Rights

Grandparents’ Rights in Divorce

In Arizona, grandparents have custody rights under certain circumstances and may be granted access to visitation even over the challenges by the legal guardians or parents.

Grandparents often suffer additional hardships during a divorce or other family dispute. They may be unable to visit their grandchildren, and they might encounter obstacles to voicing their concerns in the event of neglect or abuse.

In many situations, grandparents do have actual custody rights in Arizona. You may also be granted access to visitation, even if the legal guardians or parents challenge your interests. However, these cases can be very complicated; in most cases, a grandparent's access is granted through a linking parent. We can request access if a linking parent is unavailable or does not have a relationship with the grandparents. Our attorneys will defend your interests and help you maintain a relationship with your grandchildren.
