Grandparent rights have really deepened their roots in recent years. More and more, grandparents are exerting their right to visit their grandchildren and to maintain and deepen that important bond. The laws of the State of Colorado afford grandparents specific rights in specific situations, and these rights are often worth pursuing.

Not every grandparent, however, will be awarded visitation, and it is important to have a legal advocate during this process.
Sometimes grandparents have reason to seek more than mere visitation and request instead partial or sole custody of their grandchildren. A grandparent has the right to seek such custody when any of the following apply:
