When families are torn apart, no matter what the circumstance, the grandparent-grandchild relationship may suffer. Sometimes grandparents' rights are merely overlooked as divorced or widowed parents begin new lives. In other cases, grandparents are left out intentionally as a result of conflict with the custodial parent.
At FamilyLegal, we understand the heartache experienced by loving grandparents when they are denied access to their grandchildren. We understand, too, that during times of family turmoil, an ongoing relationship with a caring grandparent can be a lifesaver for a child. Fortunately, although laws vary from state to state, every state in the U.S. supports grandparents' rights to maintain a relationship with their grandchildren.
Meet our Grandparent's Rights Lawyers
Protecting your relationship with your grandchildren is not the only reason you might seek legal assistance, however. Today, many grandparents find themselves resuming the roles and responsibilities of parents, generally due to issues such as drug or alcohol addiction; child abuse, abandonment or neglect; teen pregnancy; unemployment and other financial difficulties; parental imprisonment or mental illness.
If your grandchildren are in an abusive or dangerous situation, you naturally want to do everything within your power to protect them. That's where the experienced attorneys at FamilyLegal come in.
