Do Grandparents Have a Legal Right to See Their Grandchildren?

No matter how much you want to involve yourself in your grandchildren’s lives, there are some situations in which you can’t see them. The law remains firmly on the parents’ side when it comes to grandparents’ visitation rights if the parents have a strained relationship with their children’s grandparents or when seeing the grandparents would be detrimental to the child's best interests. However, in some situations, grandparents can petition for the right to see or even take custody of their grandchild. The legal process to grant grandparents these rights is complex and requires an experienced attorney familiar with grandparents’ rights. Our juvenile rights law firm will advocate for your rights in these cases, providing advice and counsel to help you make the most of your situation. To learn what our attorney can do for you and your grandchildren, contact our office today.

What Types of Situations Could Qualify Us for a Grandparents’ Rights Petition?

If a court declares a parent unfit, if your grandchildren are involved in a contentious divorce, or if your adult child passes away, you might be able to petition to involve yourself in your grandchildren’s lives, either through visitation rights or custody. It doesn’t happen automatically, even if the state child protective services have removed your grandchild from their parental home. You’ll need to go through the court system. With years of experience representing grandparents, our law firm can provide you with sound legal advice. If your case qualifies, we can help steer you through the process and vigorously contend for a positive outcome. Don’t wait to pursue reconnecting with your grandchildren.

Are There Alternatives to Court Actions?

If your relationship with your adult children is less than ideal, you might pursue mediation if they’re open to negotiating. Our grandparents’ rights law firm can help you explore whether mediation is a viable option and guide you through the process. So long as you’ve built a strong, healthy relationship with your grandchild in the past, many parents are open to the mediation process. It’s well worth the effort to try mediation before you pursue relief through the court system. If you’d like to pursue mediation or another remedy for your situation, get in touch with our experienced grandparents’ rights lawyer today.
