The Supreme Court of New Hampshire rules to preserve the grandparents visitation rights even if a child’s parents die and they are adopted. This is a sure sign that New Hampshire, at least, recognizes “The best interest of the child” and the need for stability and continuity in their lives. I have said before that especially during times of family unit upheaval children need more love and sense of security, not less. I take this and other baby steps […]

In part 4 of THE STATE OF GRANDPARENTS RIGHTS I want to highlight how difficult this issue is. As Grandparents we need a little perspective on this issue. It is excruciatingly hard to stand by and watch a disintegrating family unit using their children as a lever to punish their spouse. This is precisely where we as Caring Grandparents need help. We must also understand that the complexity of the need for Grandparents rights lends itself to unintended consequences as well. […]

In an effort to understand what this 1983 GRANDPARENTS VISITATION RIGHTS hearing before the subcommittee had to look at to recommend legislation of a Uniform Act let’s hear again from Senator John East in his opening statement of purpose to the committee. This is a huge question; 2) “If grandparents are to be given access to courts to seek visitation rights, how shall these rights be framed?” Here we get to what I consider to be the true crux of […]

The following post is the first of 6 tests that the subcommittee looked at to see if GRANDPARENTS VISITATION RIGHTS could be considered for Federal Legislation in the form of a UNIFORM ACT. As you will see there is a rigorous process that any issue has to go through before it moves from being within the States Rights and becomes the law of the land. The first question posed by Committee Chairman, then Senator John East (R) OHIO was “Should […]

GRANDPARENTS RIGHTS are a matter for the States to determine. It is fair to ask; Why are their no Federal Laws governing GRANDPARENTS VISITATION RIGHTS? I have written in the past about the one attempt back in the early 80’s to look at GRANDPARENTS RIGHTS at the Federal Level. This will be installment 1 of an 8 part series of articles. The other parts will show up here in the days to come. I will then report on the conclusions […]

Caring Grandparents will go to the ends of the earth to support and Affirm our grandchildren. It is not only the most powerful thing we can do but it is also a Grandparents Right. I know you care about your grandchildren because you have come to this site. I will warn you that caring isn’t enough. If you are among the 2.5 million grandparents actually raising grandkids then here is an essential bit of advice. If you see disaster […]

In the same family there may be a need for Grandparents rights in one or parts of the family but the other parts of the family are going pretty smoothly. It is not uncommon to have, say in my case 6 grandchildren with 4 sets of parents. Two of those sets of parents are divorced and two are still together. Even though I work very hard at keeping the lines of communications open with each of my 8 children/step children […]

Yes! & Yes! Please don’t throw tomatoes and rotten eggs at me until you read this post through. Then you may still want to throw them but I don’t think so. I continually state that the whole purpose of my commitment to this issue is “The best interest of the children”. That takes care of the first Yes. To the extent that we continue to put this debate on the table I promise you the children will benefit. I have […]
