In New Zealand can grandparents demand visitation or custody when there is no abuse or parental problems?
No. There are no such direct legal rights that benefit grandparents. The sole authority of a parent over their own child should always be paramount in the law. No other person can be allowed to break that right without just cause. Grandparents can report cases of abuse or neglect. They can attend the family group conference when allegations of abuse or neglect are being evaluated. They can petition for an order of guardianship if the case progresses to family court. They have no right to demand visitation rights or custody when there is no abuse or other problem present. See related link.

If you are a mandated provider you have a legal obligation to report child abuse to your local social services agency(CPS). The first thing is to call and talk to a social worker, but your next step is to fill out the proper form within 48 hours after your call.
