What Is in the Best Interests of the Child?
In determining whether the visitation would be in the best interests of the child, the courts will examine things like:
- The grandparent's or grandparents' willingness to promote a close relationship with the parents
- The existing relationship between the child and the grandparents
- The preference of the child if he or she is old enough to make those types of decisions
- The mental and physical health of both the child and the grandparents
