Grandparents’ Rights Case Returns to Court Monday

A Rhode Island trial over grandparents’ rights resumes Monday after a break in proceedings.

The case centers on whether grandparents can maintain legal visitation or custody rights when family relationships break down. Rhode Island law allows grandparents to petition for these rights under certain circumstances, but the specifics are often contested in court.

Details about the specific family involved, the names of the parties, and what prompted the legal dispute weren’t available. The trial will pick back up Monday in Rhode Island Superior Court.
