Do I Have the Right to See My Grandchild After My Child Dies?

Grieving the loss of your adult child is heartbreaking. But for many grandparents, the pain deepens when the surviving parent cuts off access to their grandchild.

In Alabama, you may have legal rights—even if the other parent says no.

Alabama law allows grandparents to petition for visitation when:

• Their adult child has died

• They had a strong relationship with the grandchild

• The surviving parent is blocking contact

• Visitation is in the child’s best interest

Courts don’t take these cases lightly. You’ll need to prove that cutting you off is emotionally harmful to the child, and that your continued involvement benefits their stability after the loss of a parent.

In my legal guide, we break down:

• How to file for visitation in Alabama

• What courts look for

• Mistakes to avoid

• When you might qualify for custody instead
