Factors Considered by Maine Courts in a Grandparents’ Rights Case

In the United States, more than 7 million children live in households with at least one grandparent. In certain cases, this may be because the grandparent can no longer live alone and needs extra support. However, in many cases, the grandparent has actually been granted some form of custody of the grandchild.

Whether you find yourself concerned for your grandchild’s safety and well-being, or you are simply hoping to secure visitation time following a divorce, separation, annulment, or paternity action, the Law Offices of Thaddeus V. Day, PLLC, are here to help.

When you petition the courts for visitation or custody rights of a grandchild, the judge will weigh certain factors to help ensure that the best interests of the child are prioritized above all else. These factors include:

• The wishes of the child, even if they are of a certain age and maturity
• The intentions behind your petition for visitation or custody
• Health considerations regarding both the mental and physical health of the child and the mental and physical health of the grandparents
• If there is any history of domestic violence within the family
• The quality of any existing bond between the grandparents and the grandchildren
• Stability of the home life of both the child and the grandparent’s home environment
• How the visitation will impact parental decision-making
• Geographical distance between the grandparents’ primary residence and the residence of the child
