The Best Books About Grandparent's Rights

Grandparent Issues: Minnesota Grandparent Rights to Visitation: Visitation may be granted if the grandparents are the parents of a deceased parent of the child; during or after proceedings for dissolution of the child's parents' marriage, child custody, legal separation, annulment, or paternity; or if the grandchild has resided with the grandparents or great-grandparents for a period of twelve months or more and is subsequently removed by the child's parents. Visitation must be found to be in the best interest of the child. M.S.A. §257.022. When Adoption Occurs: Visitation rights terminate upon adoption by anyone other than a stepparent or grandparent.
