Answer:
In Vermont, a superior, juvenile, or probate court can grant visitation rights to a grandparent if they have considered or are considering the custody or visitation of a minor child. To request visitation, a grandparent must file a written request with the court. The court will award visitation if it determines that doing so is in the best interest of the child. It may be beneficial to consult an attorney for assistance. You can also reach out to your probate court clerk for guidance.
