Grandparents have no inherent visitation rights in ANY state.

Make nice with the parents of the child...


If you want more information, you need to post details.

Possibly, depending on the situation.

This is something that the Grandparents should get a consult with a local attorney about.

If you are one of the parents it wouldn't hurt for you to get a consult also.

Case law in GA has narrowed the usage of the gpv statutes quite a bit.

Yes, you have the right to try and get along with each other. You have the right to put aside petty differences to be a family. You have the right to make sure any and everything you do is for the good of the child. You have the right to if you are the parent realize that you can never have to many people to love your child and if you are the grandparent you have the right to respect your child as a parent because after all you raised them. If you dont like the way they behave now you have the right to refrain from trying to be a "parent" to the grandchild since you obviously dont like the job you already accomplished the first time around.

And be aware that if you sue your Child for Grandparents Visitation and the courts do not rule in your favor. Your child may never speak to you or allow you access to their child ever again.

If it is an intact family, the grandparent might as well go pound sand. It'd be about as productive.

i must disagree a tiny bit here, i am one of the lovely parents stuck in a gp issue..... I have an intact family, 3 children, husband etc...yet nys is allowing me to be sued for custody and visitation b/c of the stupid clause in the domestic relations law that is being used as a loophole to make my life a living hell..."where equity would see fit to intervene" that crap....

but whats the situation, was there a previous relationship, no relationship, why is there talk about suing for visitation? the op hasnt given us any detail so no one knows what the story is.

OP is in Georgia, not NY.

In GA, grandparents have no right to intervene if the child is living in an intact family with both biological parents.

You are not an "intact family" anyway. Intact would be you, DH, and the child between the two of you. Your DD has a different father and therefore, not intact. Each state has very different laws wrt gp visitation. FL struck down the statute entirely....move there!

That would be the "both biological parents" part.

With everything said, we must understand that the question was (and all the information we have is): Do Grandparents have visitation rights in the State of Georgia?

The ONLY correct answer, based on the question is "NO". Grandparents in NO state have any inherent visitation rights.

It's really pointless to make guesses in the dark as to the OP's situation...

I know, just clarifying for another poster. Some people believe that intact simply means that because they are married.

I know, I'm just trying to calm liandrajade down. She has an appearance for gpv tomorrow and is a little nerve wracked. We'll have to forgive her for now.

You and the father of your daughter are not married. You are no longer a couple. That's one of the reasons your mother is able to do what she is doing. An intact family is both parents who remain together (married) with their children.
