Grandparent Visitation
RSA 461-A:13 — grandparents may petition for reasonable visitation
Grandparents, adoptive or natural, may petition the court for reasonable rights of visitation with a minor child, as the section provides.
Who handles this in New Hampshire: legal aid programs, lawyer referral and the state offices, listed in the New Hampshire directory.
The section does not apply where the grandparent's access was restricted for any reason before or at the time of the divorce, death, relinquishment or termination of parental rights, among the cases it lists.
