Florida Grandparent Visitation Rights
Finally! It used to be the law in Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida and the surrounding counties such as Clay, Duval, St. Johns, Nassau, Putnam, etc. that grandparents in the State of Florida had no visitation rights with their grandchildren as the courts stated that this would be a privacy right violation of the Constitution to parents. However, Florida Statute 752 now gives grandparents an avenue by which to pursue visitation rights with their grandchildren as the courts are now using the best interest of the child standard. Finally, the law has recognized how important it is for grandchildren to have a continuing and loving connection to extended family!
