Do I have any kind of legal visitation rights ?

Answer: AZLawHelp Question 21809
A divorce decree most time will make a custody determination, which may include visitation and parenting time. This decree may include grandparents. There is a particular section “Can a person other than the parent have parenting time,” that can prove to be useful.

There is an Arizona statute regarding the particular situation described.
