Our principal, Ann Crossman, successfully argued the issue of grandparent rights before the Ohio Supreme Court.
In the case In re Gibson, the Supreme Court of Ohio determined that a court should not interfere with the parental rights in an intact family. There must be some precipitating event such as a divorce, separation or death for the court to intervene.
Obtaining Grandchild Visitation Rights
As with every issue involving custody and visitation, the standard used by the court is "the best interest of the child."
If we determine that your case has merit, our firm can file a motion seeking to obtain visitation rights for your grandchild. One of the key issues the court will look at is the nature of your relationship to date with your grandchild.
Our attorneys have extensive experience in these types of motions and understand how courts view such requests. We will work diligently to argue and present evidence in support of your motion.
