However, there are some exceptions. One is a case where a parent is deceased and the child or children lived with the deceased parent and his or her parents prior to the parent's death. Obviously, unless there are some very good reasons to limit contact between children and the grandparents who helped to raise them, some kind of grandparenting time is completely appropriate.
