Although courts vary from state to state there are general consistencies on what courts and judges consider before awarding grandparents rights. Here is a summary of some of the factors a court considers when it decides whether or not grandparents visitation or custody is in the best interest of the child.

About 50 percent of all marriages end in divorce today. When divorce takes place in the family the separation of the family unit affects everyone, and each person is affected differently. There is blame and hurt from everyone in the family. When parents separate or divorce the grandparents visitation rights affected. Grandparents are, of course, concerned about custody issues and they also want to help protect their grandchildren.

Grandparents rights are becoming more and more important in our society, as the statistics clearly show. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there were 7 million children living with a grandparent in 2009, which is almost 10 percent of all children in the United States. The reasons vary as much as the families themselves, but the number of grandchildren living with their grandparents (one or both) continues to climb in the U.S. and it is important that grandparents understand their […]

There are many reasons and circumstances where a grandparent may feel the need to investigate grandparent’s rights over their grandchildren. With high divorce rates, teen pregnancy issues, drug problems, abandonment, abuse and sometimes the death of a parent or parents, many grandparents feel the need to step up and help out. Grandparent’s rights can be tricky, though, and often it’s hard to know where to start or get help. I discuss all of these issues in detail in my book […]

Many people start the journey toward learning about grandparents rights by asking the simplest question first: “Do grandparents have rights?” When you’re looking at the question “Do grandparents have rights?” you must look to the state of the American family and how that impacts older Americans. The past 30 years have seen tremendous changes when it comes to the American family. Consider these trends, from Professor Herbert S. Klein: Prior to 1980, births outside of marriage were less than 10 […]

Although most grandparents find the idea of being unable to see their grandchildren inconceivable. In actuality, however, thousands of grandparents have faced the loss of their visitation rights. Some have successfully negotiated, either in or out of court, for grandparents rights, including their right to see their grandchildren. Others have had to face the sad reality of going for years without the prospect of a visit. State statutes on the subject of grandparent visitation rights vary from statutes considered to […]

Most people will tell you that grandparents do not have any common law rights to see their grandchildren. These people are not entirely correct. There is no basis in constitutional law as regards to grandparent visitation rights in the USA. And yet, there are cases in this country all the time where grandparents are found to be entitled to visitation rights. To learn the latest laws and developments in your area with respect to grandparent rights to child custody and […]

Today there are more instances than ever where grandparents are seeking court ordered grandparent visitation rights. There are many factors that have led to this: the increase in children born out of wedlock, the increase in the divorce rate, an increase in the propensity for a single custodial parent to move to another location, and a general decrease in society’s valuation of grandparent relationships. Unfortunately there is not a lot of uniformity between the laws in states about how to […]
