It is not uncommon for family disputes and other issues to disrupt the vitally important relationships between grandparents and their grandchildren. Before or after a New York divorce within your family, or in a range of other situations, you may have important objectives involving your rights as a grandparent to have contact and be involved in the lives of your grandchildren.

- Grandparents' attempts to establish enforceable visitation rights that allow reasonable access to their grandchildren
