We Fight for Grandparents' Rights
In some child custody cases, grandparents have to request visitation rights from the courts to see their grandchildren. This can happen if a parent is denied custody or visitation, or if a parent dies, and under certain circumstances if the parents and grandparents do not have a good relationship. Under these conditions, grandparents can seek visitation under grandparents' rights laws.

You Can Count on Our Experience
Under Michigan law, grandparents can seek visitation with their grandchildren if their child has died or divorced. If the grandchild was born out of wedlock, grandparents have no legal recourse unless their child has died.
It is tough for grandparents to get visitation rights because they must show by a preponderance of evidence that not seeing the grandparents will harm the children. To prove that the grandchildren will suffer emotional or psychological damage, you need an experienced family law attorney.
Our lawyers understand child development and family dynamics. We also work with psychologists and other professionals during visitation and custody cases. We know how to present your strongest argument for gaining visitation rights with your grandchildren.
