What visitation rights do grandparents have in Massachusetts?

At Koiles Pratt Family Law Group, we often receive calls from grandparents who wish to assert or obtain visitation rights with their grandchildren. Generally speaking, a grandparent must have permission from a parent who has legal custody of the child to visit that child.

Our firm represents grandparents who are seeking visitation time with their grandchildren, as well as parents who wish to limit visitation time or prevent grandparents from obtaining legal visitation rights. We understand the legal aspects of the issues these cases present and how to frame arguments for consideration by the court. Our firm will work diligently to protect your rights and relationships.

The founder and principal of our firm, Jennifer Koiles Pratt, has represented clients in all types of family law matters for decades. Jennifer and the other lawyers at the firm are strong advocates in all matters involving children, including grandparents’ rights and child custody.

After thoroughly reviewing the issues in your case and providing you with a realistic understanding of your options, Koiles Pratt Family Law Group will aggressively pursue your rights to visitation.
