How Can I File for Grandparents Visitation?

When divorce, death, or family conflict strikes, grandparents often find themselves cut off from the grandchildren they love. If this is happening to you, you may be wondering: Can I file for visitation—and how?

In Alabama and many other states, the answer is yes—under certain conditions. Grandparents can file a petition in family court if the parents are divorced, deceased, or if a stepparent adoption has taken place. But filing is just the beginning. You must also prove that visitation is in the best interest of the child.

Filing involves:

• Meeting legal eligibility requirements

• Submitting a petition in the appropriate county

• Including details about your relationship and the child’s needs

• Presenting evidence and testimony at a hearing

It’s a legal process—but also an emotional one. Courts are cautious about overriding a parent’s decision. That’s why your petition must be well-prepared, fact-based, and focused on the child’s well being.
