A court may award visitation rights if visitation would be in the child's best interest. A court may award a grandparent the same visitation rights as a parent without custody if the grandparent's child is deceased and the grandparent has provided child support to the grandchild.
Best Answer Thanks! Grandparents cannot get emergency custody of their grandchildren, as they are not constitutionally entitled to custody. However, they can as the other attorneys have suggested, seek relief through an emergency guardianship. They will have to show that the children are in imminent threat of harm if left where they are.
