Northeast Ohio Family Law Attorneys Provide Resources on Grandparents’ Rights in a Divorce

The northeast Ohio family law attorneys at Slater & Zurz are pleased to announce that their website offers resources on grandparents’ rights in a divorce. The northeast Ohio family lawyers at the firm are providing this information so that grandparents are aware of their legal rights in regard to visitation, adoption and other related matters. To learn more about grandparents’ rights in an Ohio divorce, please visit http://dissolutionanddivorce.com/GrandparentsRights.html today. 

When determining grandparents’ visitation rights following an Ohio divorce, several factors will be taken into account. Some of these “best interest” decisions may include the following: the wishes of the child’s parents; the distance between the grandparents’ residence and the child’s residence; the mental and physical health of all involved parties; and previous interaction and interrelations of the child with other relatives. Although a parent’s marriage or remarriage will not have an effect on a visitation order, grandparents’ rights may be affected by an adoption. Typically, when the parents are divorced or were never married, and an adoption order terminates the parental rights of either the mother or father, the visitation rights of relatives of that parent, including grandparents, are also terminated.
