Best Interests Of The Child Doctrine

Essentially, the court determines if visitation by the grandparent would be in the child's best interests, or if it would somehow endanger the child's health or impair the child's emotional development. The court may order visitation if the court believes that such visitation would be in the child's best interests, after the criteria listed in the Missouri statute has been met. To learn more about grandparent's rights, we encourage you to speak with a member of our legal team.
