Do grandparents have visitation or custody rights in North Carolina?

The answer is more complex than many expect. While parents have strong constitutional rights, there are limited situations where grandparents may seek visitation or custody—especially when a child’s well-being is at stake.

Our latest article breaks down when grandparents may have legal standing and what courts consider in these cases.

If you have questions about your role in your grandchild’s life, we’re here to help.

Every June, lawyers, advocates, and court-watchers pay close attention to the final weeks of the United States Supreme Court's term. Many of the Court's most consequential decisions are released during this period, and their effects often last for generations.

This month marks the anniversaries of several landmark decisions that shaped the lives of millions of Americans:

• 𝑮𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒘𝒐𝒍𝒅 𝒗. 𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒖𝒕 (1965), recognizing constitutional protections for marital privacy and access to contraception.

• 𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒗. 𝑽𝒊𝒓𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒂 (1967), striking down bans on in*******al marriage and affirming the fundamental right to marry.

• 𝑩𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒗. 𝑯𝒂𝒓𝒅𝒘𝒊𝒄𝒌 (1986), which upheld laws criminalizing same-sex intimacy and remained the law of the land for nearly two decades before being overturned.

• 𝑶𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒈𝒆𝒇𝒆𝒍𝒍 𝒗. 𝑯𝒐𝒅𝒈𝒆𝒔 (2015), recognizing marriage equality nationwide.

• 𝑫𝒐𝒃𝒃𝒔 𝒗. 𝑱𝒂𝒄𝒌𝒔𝒐𝒏 𝑾𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒏'𝒔 𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒕𝒉 𝑶𝒓𝒈𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒛𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 (2022), which overturned Roe v. Wade and returned the regulation of abortion to the states.

These cases reached very different outcomes, but they share something important: each profoundly changed the relationship between individuals, families, and government. Their impacts continue to shape discussions about privacy, family formation, equality, bodily autonomy, and the role of the courts in American life.

At NicholsonPham, we are reminded every day that Supreme Court decisions are not merely historical events. They affect real people, real families, and real futures. Understanding the law's evolution helps us better protect our clients and prepare for the changes that may still lie ahead.
