Bergen County Grandparent's Rights Lawyers

New Jersey is one of a few states that gives grandparents a legal right to visit with a grandchild if a custodial parent does not want the child to spend time with them. New Jersey state law allows a grandparent to petition the court for visitation if it can be proven that visitation is in the best interest of the child. However, this is a difficult standard.
