DO GREAT GRANDPARENTS HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS AS GRANDPARENTS WHEN SEEKING VISITATION OF A CHILD?
NRS 125C.050 provides that certain relatives of a child may petition the court for visitation rights. Under specific circumstances, siblings, grandparents and even great grandparents may seek visitation rights if it is established that such visitation would be in the child’s best interest. Interestingly, a recent Colorado Court of Appeals decision found that “great grandparents” were not “grandparents” under the Colorado statute and therefore had no standing to petition for visitation.
