FAQ

The statute applies to full siblings as well as half-siblings. This means that both full siblings and half siblings have standing to petition the court seeking visitation with their siblings. On the other hand, under the statute, non-blood siblings such as step siblings or foster siblings do not have standing.
In cases where a grandparent believes that their grandchild is in danger, it may be possible for them to seek a restraining or protective order as well as to seek custody. Generally, grandparents can seek custody of their grandchildren when the parents do not live together.
Grandparents can request visitation rights by applying to either the family court or the state Supreme Court. The state of New York will award visitation to biological and adoptive grandparents as long as they find that the visitation order is in the child's best interest.

Yes, a parent may deny grandparent visitation rights, as parents have more extensive rights over their children. However, most courts will assume that it is in the child's best interest to maintain a relationship with their grandparents unless the parent can demonstrate that it would be harmful to the child.
If the sibling wants to get custody rights over their younger sibling, they will have to show the court that both of their parents are not capable or fit to care for their sibling or that both of their parents have passed away.
A parent seeking to visit with a child may file a petition in Family Court against the person or persons who have custody of the child. Custody and visitation matters are often heard together within the same hearing, but a visitation petition may also be filed as a separate matter.
