Yes, but they can not petition for visitation if the parents are married.
You can file for visitation if:
1. the parents are living separately
2. a parent's whereabouts are unknown for a month or more
3. the child has been adopted by a stepparent or the child does not live with either parent.
4. if the grandparent is joined in that petition by one of the parents.
The right to visitation is based on a pre-existing relationship that has "engendered a bond." The court considers what is in the best interest of the child and the parents' rights and authority to make decisions about the child.
