Grandparents’ Rights

Safeguarding These Relationships

We understand the importance of preserving the bonds between grandparents and their grandchildren.

Grandparents often play a vital role in the lives of their grandchildren, providing love, support, and guidance. However, in some cases, disputes or unforeseen circumstances may arise that affect these relationships. While grandparents do not have inherent rights to custody or visitation, many states recognize the importance of maintaining these relationships and have laws in place to protect grandparents’ rights in certain situations.

In cases where parents are divorced, separated, or deceased, grandparents may seek visitation rights to maintain contact with their grandchildren. Additionally, if grandparents believe that their grandchildren are in danger of being neglected, they may petition the court for custody or guardianship.

Our knowledgeable family law attorneys concentrate on advocating for grandparents’ rights and helping families navigate the legal complexities of these situations. We understand the sensitive nature of these cases and work diligently to achieve fair and favorable outcomes for our clients.

Whether you are seeking visitation rights, custody, or guardianship of your grandchildren, our team is here to provide guidance and support every step of the way. We will listen to your concerns, explain your legal options, and advocate tirelessly on your behalf to protect the best interests of your grandchildren.
