I stay inspired to write on the subject of Grandparents Rights every time I look at my Grandangel’s picture. If you are suffering alienation from your grandkids my heart goes out to you. You all know by now that I advocate doing all you can before you choose the legal avenue. If legal action is the only way then you can arm yourself with several things that are helpful in court. In all I read about Grandparents Visitation rights cases […]

“The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing”. Here in lies the crux of our challenge when it comes to Grandparents rights. Please don’t shoot the messenger but the truth is that, for lots of reasons, the founding fathers did not include Grandparents Rights in the constitution. As a matter of fact there is much legal debate as to how “fundamental” even the Parents Rights that show up in the Constitution actually are. Here are a […]

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 his pursuit of thoroughness, Senator East added this final question to the charge for the subcommittee to consider should they move to draft a bill for Grandparents rights. “What safeguards should there be for the abuse of any right or privilege granted to grandparents?” to qualify and clarify his question he goes on to say; “Child custody and child support are, already, significant problems in the United States. There may be as many as 300,000 (1983 numbers) incidents of […]

I applaud you if you have gotten this far in this series but I guarantee you this is an essential part of understanding Grandparents Rights and the path to the only thing that matters; “The best interest of the child”. Today’s post deals with the 5th of 6 questions that Senator East posed in an attempt to standardize and federalize the issue of Grandparents Visitation Rights. His question was; “5.) If grandparents are to be given access to the courts […]

Another one of the 6 issue Senator East wanted considered was; 4) If access to courts to adjudicate Grandparents Visitation Rights is to be permitted, who shall bear the cost of that litigation? “The Uniform Marriage and Divorce Act gives the court discretion to assign one party’s cost and attorney fees to another party, based upon a consideration of the resources of both parties. This is an example of what has been done to allocate costs when they become a […]

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. […]

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 […]

Most Grandparents that respond to this site are already deeply embroiled in a struggle for their Grandparent’s rights and that is certainly a huge portion of what we are about here on Caring Grandparents. It tears my heart out to read case studies and stories about loving grandparents that are used as pawns in the highly emotional and shortsighted battles that occur when a family unit is in trouble for whatever reason(s). Many times it is necessary for the grandparents […]
