The issue of grandparents’ rights to visit after a divorce is a complicated one, because while grandparents have no independent right to visitation, your former spouse has wide latitude within the scope of the custody agreement you’ve signed.
If the agreement doesn’t specify the exclusion of your former spouse’s parents, or otherwise address the issue of third parties joining for visitation, your legal options may be limited.
Consider having a conversation with your former spouse about your concerns.
Be careful though, because if you get into the habit of letting the grandparents visit and then try to change the terms, the grandparents may have grounds to argue that you’ve allowed visitation in the past and should continue to do so.
The attorneys at Friedman & Ranzenhofer can help you pursue your legal avenues and advise you as to the best course of action to protect your future options.
