Everyone of our 50 states once had laws that gave grandparents the right to ask the court to consider their request to visit their grandchildren, but that was unfortunately the past. Courts in many places have made grandparent visitation far more difficult to get from a legal standpoint, deciding that the concept goes against the rights of the parents. However, in some states grandparents visitation laws have been upheld by the courts. In those states grandparents still have to prove […]

Grandparents’ rights refer to rights grandparents possess to see and have contact with their grandchildren, usually after something like a divorce or other split in a family unit has occurred. While the rights of custodial parents are often considered of foremost importance, in some jurisdictions courts may allow visitation or access to grandchildren that is actually against the wishes of custodial parents. Grandparents may be successful in gaining access to their grandchildren if the grandparents can build a strong and […]

So you have successfully exerted your grandparents rights……now what? The reality is that certain practical considerations come into play. You must know that there is the potential for financial problems to arise at any time. Depending on if you are still holding down a job or have already retired it can be a different situation for everyone. When you are raising your grandchildren, unexpected expenses may come up.

Courts convene to consider the extent of grandparents rights in any custody or visitation case, the one huge overriding factor is the standard of Best Interest of the Child. Courts in every jurisdiction across the country must consider the best interests of the child standard when granting custody or visitation rights to a grandparent. The factors which determine that “best interest” are of primary importance to the court when considering what to do. Basically, if you are involved in this […]

When grandparents rights are implemented in the way they were intended a great amount of good is the result. Nearly every state in the union has some form of grandparents rights legislation and, according to every court case, custody evaluation, and case study I have read all of these state laws place the emphasis in the best interest of the child. If there was ever a win-win situation then this is it. If only life were that clear cut. My heart […]

This message is not intended to scare you. Actually, I hope it will instead inform you enough and give you some concrete ideas about what is out there for grandparents to enjoy. At the same time, I want to make you aware that your grandparents rights are important when it comes to these matters. Grandparents are as a group about 1/3rd of all adults in America. They contribute in extraordinary proportions to their grandkid’s well being. A few examples according to […]

When grandparents have to fight their own children for grandparent rights or custody of grandchildren they must actually deal with entirely different set of stress factors and pain than when a parents fight each other. Grandparents may actually find themselves accused of everything from physical abuse to mental abuse to using drugs. This is possible, because any real or imagined grievances or misdeeds from your children’s childhood can be brought up in order to assault or accuse grandparents who only […]

Wisdom is sometimes just listening. It is sometimes teaching, learning, supporting, sharing and/or empathizing. Wisdom is a grandparents gift to their grandchildren. Wisdom is worth sharing with those we love. God knows it is one of our grandparents rights since we have worked so hard for it. It would be scary for those of us that are grandparents to put a price on the wisdom we have gained through the years. The blood, sweat and tears that has been invested […]

I thank God every day that I don’t need to assert my grandparents rights on behalf of my grandchildren. It is heart rending to read about some circumstances that put children in volatile and dangerous situations due to a change in the structure of their functioning family unit. These changes can occur because of the death of one of the parents or (as is true in one half of the marriages) a divorce that results in an extended family and […]
