Grandparent Rights

Grandparent Rights

Parents are not the only ones who’s access to a child can be affected by a divorce or custody case. Oftentimes, grandparents lose their right to visit a child when a bitter parent is granted custody by the court. If you are a grandparent in this situation or have reason to believe it is in your grandchild’s best interest to seek child custody rights, our team of attorneys are here to help you understand your options to protect your relationship with your grandchildren.

When it comes to grandparent’s rights to visitation and custody, there are certain criteria that must be met in order for a grandparent to file suit. If it can be proven that the parent is incapable of caring for the child due to incarceration, death, or court-decided incompetence, or that the parent is not acting in the best interest of the child, our lawyers can help you build a strong case to gain possession or access to your grandchildren.
