Grandparent Visitation Rights
Second only to the actual parents of a child, the deepest love for a child often comes from the grandparents. In many situations, this love is so deep that grandparents will end up taking sole custody of a grandchild if their own children are unfit or unable to care for their offspring. Most grandparents feel that it is their right to be a part of their grandchildren’s lives. Grandparents want to be able to impart their wisdom to their grandchildren and shower them with love. Thus, during divorces with difficult custody battles, grandparents also want to secure their rights to visit their grandchildren.
Make sure that you do not lose your right to be a part of your grandchildren’s lives. To learn more about grandparent visitation rights, contact the Conroe divorce attorneys of Garg & Associates, P.C. at 281-362-2865 today to schedule a free initial consultation.
Grandparent Visitation Rights and the Law
Grandparent visitation rights vary from state to state and case to case, but some general facts about grandparent visitation are:
- All fifty states have statues allowing for grandparent visitation in some way
- A U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 2000 made obtaining those rights more difficult than they previously were.
- Grandparents must prove that it is in their grandchild’s best interest to maintain a relationship with the child.
Do not let your rights to a fulfilling relationship with your grandchild slip away.
