What must be proven to establish grandparents’ rights in New York?

To establish grandparents’ rights, the court must determine that it is in the best interests of the children to have a relationship with their grandparents. It includes the consideration of factors such as the nature and quality of the bond between grandparents and grandchildren, any potential harm to the children if denied access to their grandparents, and if there is a history of significant involvement and support from the grandparents in the children’s lives.
