When it comes to Grandparents Rights there is a significant question I suggest that Grandparents ask themselves while dealing with the complexity of extended family issues. The question is; How much do you want to pay to be right? Oh but he/she treats my child so badly. I have the right to say something. I will teach them a thing or two. These are just a few of the ways that lead to not being able to visit with […]

GRANDPARENTS STANDING IN A COURT OF LAW The other day I ran across and article on my Grandparents Rights alert on Google. It was an article from 1983 in the New York Times. The outlook for Grandparents in 1983 was certainly bleak. A sign of real and significant progress since then is that there was a ruling to put the 1982 Michigan Grandparents visitation law back on the books in 2004. This cleared the way for Grandparents once again […]

www.grandparentsrights.org “Remember, if death takes a grandparent from a grandchild, that is a tragedy, but if petty vindictiveness and hostilities within a family amputate a grandchild from their grandparents, then that is a shame.” Richard S. […]

LAST RESORT In the present landscape of Grandparents Rights we are limited to just a few tools. Most of you reading this have already exhausted the common sense approach of appealing to reason. Whatever the reason for the breakdown in the relationship it is still important that we use all the tools at our disposal. A good first step is to gather all evidence of your ongoing and meaningful relationship with your Grandchild. This should include pictures, letters, card, […]

There would be little need for any Grandparents Rights legislation, family court and/or mediation if it wasn’t for all of the power dynamics, manipulation and or perceived slights that seem to permeate families. By the time things get to the point of a “Rights struggle” there has been a lot of water under the bridge. I hear a lot of stories that begin in the Labor and Delivery room at the hospital. Many more come of marriage breakups, etc. […]

While there does exist more and more case law around Grandparents rights the burden is still on the Grandparent and the state in which the grandchild resides to find and exercise what rights we do have. I have written extensively on the site about preemptive strategies (ie. my support of my granddaughter in her drama efforts in the photo above), as well as success stories about legal remedies in some cases. Each day we read about more access for […]

There are things that we can do to exercise our grandparents rights when there are storms of family strife all around us. One evolution in the area of grandparents rights is that in most states Grandparents have a much easier time of showing standing in the courts. This may seem like a shallow victory but it is none the less a hard fought one. I can’t even fathom the frustration of Grandparents in the past that after being there for […]

THE WAY IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE Being estranged from a Grandchild is an arrow to the heart. We will do anything to re-establish that connection. From the extreme of legally asserting our Grandparents Rights if possible, to, let’s face it, BEGGING. No matter where you are on this continuum it is important that you retreat to your Caring Grandparent place and make a strategic plan before you do anything. Without such a plan we are often tempted to […]

One sure fire way to make sure your Grandparents Rights stay in tact is to meet the family of your Grandchildren right were they are. I realize that sounds like a blinding glimpse of the obvious but it is an oft overlooked area of human relationships. I learned this in, of all places, a management communication seminar years ago. The situation was; you need to grab a moment of one of your coworkers time for a quick question. It would […]
