In Oregon, grandparents have the right to see their grandchildren if they are denied access and if it can be demonstrated that the legal parents do not act in the child's best interests.
I am sorry but that isn't a very good answer. A
former Oregon statute used that verbage, but that statute no longer exists.
In Oregon grandparents have a statutory right to petition for visitation under certain circumstances. Unfortunately the way Oregon law is written there isn't just one law that governs this, but many different laws that apply to different circumstances.
If your parents meet the requirements for standing they may sue. However, the ability to sue does not guarantee a win...nor does it guarantee them the type of visitation that they may want. The courts must give special weight to your decision, as a fit parent, and the burden of proof is on the grandparent.
Oregon case law since Troxel has been predominently in favor of fit parents and their decisions.
