What rights do Grandparents have?

Family Law changes- Grandparents' access rights

Mar 4 -2013

As a grandparent in BC you have the legal right to apply for access in BC but that doesn't necessarily mean that you will automatically get the right to have access visits with your grandchild.

The court looks at 3 things:
1- whether its in your grandchild's best interests
2- What the parent who have custody think about giving you access
3- What the child's views are if the child is old enough
Unfortunately in some instances the child's parents will decide the amount and type of access you will have unless the court finds that they are acting against the child's best interest. You may get access but you will not have the same rights as a parent would for frequency and length of the visits.
