A grandparent whose child is deceased and who supplies child support for a grandchild can be awarded visitation rights that are the equivalent of a non-custodial parent’s. Grandparents rights granted under this condition will not be terminated even if the parental rights of the grandparent’s son or daughter are terminated.
Adoption ends grandparent visitation rights unless the adopting party is the stepparent and the grandparent’s child has not suffered termination of parental rights.
In the USA there is no uniform grandparents visitation rights law. Each state has its own set of rules loosely based on a the 2000 US Supreme Court decision Troxel.
