in texas grandparents
00:06
may be awarded visitation of of their
00:08
grandchild
00:09
in order to do that the grandparents
00:12
need to establish
00:13
first they need to overcome i should say
00:16
a presumption called the fit
00:17
parent presumption and that’s the
00:19
presumption that the parent is acting in
00:22
the best interest of the child
00:23
in making those parenting decisions one
00:26
of which is
00:27
to deny the grandparents access to the
00:30
child
00:31
so they have to establish that and then
00:33
they also have to establish
00:34
that the decision to deny them access
00:38
to that child to the visitation of the
00:41
child
00:41
is going to significantly impair the
00:44
child either
00:45
physically or emotionally once they meet
00:47
both of those burdens
00:49
then the court could award the
00:51
grandparents visitation
00:53
and they could award visitation as the
00:55
court deems appropriate
