WHAT IF I AM A GRANDPARENT OR OTHER NON-PARENT TAKING CARE OF A CHILD OR WANTING TO SEE A CHILD AND THE PARENTS WILL NOT LET ME?

You may be able to file a Non-Parental Custody Petition to establish custody and request child support from either/both parent(s), depending upon the circumstances. Starting in 2021, Non-Parental Custody Petitions will be replaced by Petitions for Legal Guardianship. (RCW 11.130.190)
