Grandparents have visitation rights with their grandchildren. Minnesota Statute 257C.08 gives grandparents the right to visitation in three situations:
1. When the parent, who is their child, is deceased;
2. When there is a proceeding for divorce, custody, legal separation, annulment, or parentage (a paternity action); and
3. When the child(ren) resided with the grandparents for 12 months or more. These 12 months do not need to be consecutive.
If you or someone you know is being deprived of visitation with their grandchildren, consult with an attorney. There may be a remedy.
