A court may award visitation rights if visitation would be in the child's best interest. A court may award a grandparent the same visitation rights as a parent without custody if the grandparent's child is deceased and the grandparent has provided child support to the grandchild.
The most common way to ask for a court date on custody issues is: 1  Fill out your court forms. Fill out the Request for Order (Form FL-300). 2  Have your forms reviewed. If your courtâs family law facilitator or self-help center helps people with custody and visitation cases, ask him or her to review your paperwork.
