Michigan Grandparent Visitation

In divorce, there aren't laws that automatically grant visitation rights for grandparents. In Michigan a grandparent may petition the Michigan divorce court to seek child visitation in the following circumstances:

• A divorce, separate maintenance or Michigan annulment involving the child's parents is before the court
• The child's parents are divorce, separated or had the marriage annulled
• One of the parents is deceased
• The child was born out of wedlock and paternity has been established but the parents don't live together
• Legal child custody of the child has been given to a person other than the parent or the child is placed outside - except when the child is adopted by anyone other than a stepparent
