In states without specific grandparents rights laws, grandparents may have limited legal rights to visit or have custody of their grandchildren. They may need to demonstrate a significant relationship with the child and show that visitation is in the child's best interest. It is recommended to seek legal advice in such cases.
Grandparents can ask for visitation to be granted through the court, but they are not automatically given visitation rights like natural/legal parents are.
In the United States, laws regarding grandparents' rights vary by state. Generally, these laws allow grandparents to seek visitation or custody of their grandchildren under certain circumstances, such as when it is in the best interest of the child. However, the specifics of these laws can differ significantly from state to state. It is important for grandparents to consult with a legal professional to understand their rights and options in their specific situation.
If fully depends on the circumstances.
If you parents give up their rights or their rights are taken away and the judge gives it to the grandparents after they apply.
That is a state to state issue. Grandparents are being allowed to go into court these days and get rights though. I added a couple links for you to visit for more information. Hope this helps.
No, only parents or grandparents are mentioned in the custody rights laws of the different states and not always grandparents either. It's up to the court when you apply for custody.

Parental rights are paramount to "grandparents rights". In most jurisdictions there are no such rights.

No, there are no legal right giving grandparents visitation rights in Texas. A grandparent can petition the court but the court will only hear the case under certain circumstances such as the death of a parent or incarceration.

Yes. The minor parents have the same rights over their child as adult parents do. The grandparents have no legal right to the grandchild.
