the legal framework for grandparent visitation rights in our state
Nevada law recognizes the importance of grandparent-grandchild relationships under certain circumstances. As your grandparents’ rights lawyers, we’ll guide you through the intricacies of NRS 125C.050, which outlines the legal framework for grandparent visitation rights in our state.
As experienced grandparents’ rights lawyers, we at Kelleher & Kelleher offer a range of services to help you maintain your relationship with your grandchildren:
Petitioning for Visitation Rights: We’ll help you file a strong petition for visitation, clearly outlining why continued contact with you is in your grandchild’s best interests.
Court Representation: Our grandparents’ rights lawyers will represent you in court, presenting compelling evidence and arguments to support your case.
Negotiation with Parents: Sometimes, the best solution can be reached outside the courtroom. We’ll negotiate with the parents on your behalf to try to reach an amicable agreement.
Modifying Existing Orders: If circumstances have changed since an existing visitation order was put in place, we can help you petition for modifications.
Grandparents may seek visitation rights in several situations, including when a parent has passed away, parents have divorced, parental rights have been terminated, or a parent is incarcerated. However, it’s crucial to understand that Nevada courts begin with a presumption that grandparent visitation is not in the child’s best interests. As your grandparents’ rights lawyers, our job is to help you overcome this presumption.
In Nevada, the right to seek visitation isn’t limited to grandparents. Great-grandparents and other individuals who have lived with the child may also petition for visitation rights. The process is similar to that for grandparents, requiring proof that visitation is in the child’s best interests. As experienced family law attorneys, we can also assist in these cases.
The court’s primary concern is always the best interests of the child. To grant visitation, a judge must be convinced that maintaining a relationship with you is beneficial for your grandchild. Factors the court considers include the strength of your existing relationship with the child, your ability to serve as a positive role model, and your physical and moral fitness.
When you work with a grandparents’ rights lawyer from Kelleher & Kelleher, we’ll guide you through each step of the legal process:
We’ll prepare and file a comprehensive petition for visitation with the appropriate Nevada court. In some cases, we may seek temporary visitation orders to allow you to maintain contact with your grandchild while the case is ongoing. We’ll help you collect and present evidence demonstrating your positive relationship with your grandchild and why continued contact is beneficial. Our grandparents’ rights lawyers will represent you at all court hearings, advocating strongly for your rights and your grandchild’s best interests.
At Kelleher & Kelleher, we also represent parents in grandparent visitation cases. We understand the delicate balance between parental rights and grandparent visitation. Our goal is always to find a solution that serves the best interests of the child while respecting the rights of all parties involved.

As grandparents’ rights lawyers, we often encounter questions about this area of law. Here are some common queries:
What are grandparents’ rights in Nevada? Nevada law allows grandparents to petition for visitation rights under certain circumstances, such as when a parent has died or parents have divorced.
How can grandparents get visitation rights? Grandparents must petition the court and prove that visitation is in the child’s best interests.

The good-heartedness and efficiency at this law firm trickle down from the founders and their staff members are very respectful.
I was faced with an urgent custody matter that was very time sensitive. When I contacted my previous lawyer, he did not make time for me and his assistants gave me the run-around.
John and his team immediately made the time for me and recognized the urgency of my situation. John is very knowledgeable, but most importantly he is aggressive which helped me get the best possible outcome.
If I had stayed with my previous law firm and their passive approach to everything, nothing would have gotten done. I highly recommend John and his team and am thankful for all of their help.
They are the best of the best, and I know my attorneys! In my long, drawn-out, and complicated case, John was wonderful. The whole firm was so dedicated and professional and really paid attention to all my needs and concerns. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. I highly recommend this firm for any family.
