No. There are no provisions in the laws of Georgia that provide step-parents with visitation rights. A step-parent has no legal standing. They would need to bring suit and take their chances with a judge.

∙ 13y agoThere is no presumptive right of grandparent visitation in the United States. However, in several states, including Georgia, a grandparent can request visitation from the court. They can do this by either filing a petition for visitation or joining an existing custody/visitation case for the subject children. The court will not assume that it is in the child's best interest for the grandparents to have visitation with the children over the parent's objection-- rather, the grandparents must prove that this visitation is in the best interest of the children and further that it is harmful to them to be deprived of this visitation.
