Can a parent deny a grandparent visitation in Florida

I’m in a difficult situation. My mother and I have had a falling out, and she’s been insisting on seeing my child despite our strained relationship. I’m concerned about the influence she might have and am considering limiting her access. Can a parent in Florida deny a grandparent visitation, and what legal steps would I need to take if I choose to go this route?

In Florida, grandparents can seek visitation rights under certain conditions, but parents generally have the right to deny them. Florida law limits when grandparents can request visitation, and courts usually support a parent’s decision to refuse grandparent visitation. For specific advice, contact a local attorney.

In Florida, you can usually set limits on who sees your kid, including grandparents. If you’re worried about her influence, you’ve got the right to keep her visits in check. You might want to chat with a family lawyer to make sure everything’s squared away. They can help you with any legal steps you might need to take.
