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.
You can (1) file a petition for custody or visitation on your own behalf, with or without a lawyer, starting in the local juvenile and domestic relations district court. If you and your son or daughter is the non custodial parent (the parent who has less time with the children), you can also (2) petition together.
