Q&A: Do grandparents have 'visitation' rights in a non-divorce situation?

Question by bccrupert: Do grandparents have 'visitation' rights in a non-divorce situation? My husband and I are still together, divorce is not an issue nor is there any problems in our marriage. What is the problem is the one set of grandparents to my children (my husband's parents). They are upset because they want to be at our house every moment they have 'free time' and aren't out with their friends or at some social gathering that they are always at. They have quite an extensive social circle and are the 'social butterflies'. We, however, refuse to cancel our plans to accommodate their busy life when they have time to see the grandkids. We aren't going to call them and see what their plans are before we make our own, nor should we have to cancel ours just because they finally have time to be here. The problem is, they say they have certain 'grandparent rights' in the state (PA) and they are talking about getting an attorney to go after set visitation times. Can they do this? I know in divorce situations they could, but we are together, and they do get to see the grandkids. Everything I found online is for divorce situations, and this is not. Can someone please let me know if there is anything they can legally do here? Best answer:

They have a right to see their grandchildren but that doesn't necessarily mean that they can control your life to do it. I'd talk to a lawyer just to see the details of the law.
