How to Prove Grandparents’ Rights in Court

In Maine, where the current divorce rate is 2.4 cases per 1,000 people, many grandparents are concerned about their rights to see their grandchildren. If you are denied your right to visitation, you do have legal options, and the team at the Law Offices of Thaddeus V. Day, PLLC, is here to help.

If you are seeking visitation based on already having a substantial relationship with a grandchild, you will need to demonstrate that your visits would be in the best interests of the child. Our attorneys are here to help you do just that. To prove that court-ordered visitation with grandparents is in the child’s best interests, our family lawyers can help prepare evidence that shows the following:

• Your history of providing or caring for the child
• The preferences of the child, depending on their age and level of maturity
• If there is any evidence of mental health issues or substance abuse by a parent
• If there is any history of physical, sexual, or mental abuse or neglect carried out by a parent
• The child’s physical needs, health, and emotional well-being
• The relationship you already share with the child
• The cooperation and communication that exists between you, the parents, or any other party who is involved in the welfare and care of the child

At the Law Offices of Thaddeus V. Day, PLLC, we are here to help you gather evidence and documentation that can help prove these factors, including photos, videos, letters, electronic communications, jail records, or medical records.
