When the parents of your grandchild were never married, it might seem like your rights as a grandparent don’t exist—but don’t give up. In many cases, grandparents do have legal standing to request visitation or even custody, depending on the situation and the state.
In Alabama, if one parent is absent, unfit, or no longer involved, grandparents may petition the court for visitation. If the child’s well-being is at risk—due to neglect, substance abuse, or instability—you may be able to file for emergency custody. The court's top concern is always the child’s best interest, not just biological ties.
Even if you feel powerless now, there are legal options to keep your relationship with your grandchild intact. The earlier you act, the stronger your case.
