In many families grandparents visitation is easy and frequent. Grandparents usually have a special relationship with their grandchildren. However, in some cases, grandparents have to do far more than be caring, loving grandparents. When parents have problems that prevent them from taking care of their kids, grandparents are usually the first relatives a parent will turn to in their time of need.

A lot of people ask me when is the best time to get a court to grant grandparents rights. The important thing to note is that it is always best if you can have grandparents visitation included at the time of your child’s divorce. If you or your attorney can negotiate directly with the parents of your grandchildren then adding terms such as grandparents visitation is far easier than it become later. Each different state provides the appropriate venue which […]

Grandparent’s rights have become a controversial issue. On the one hand why should grandchildren be denied time with a grandparent because their parents no longer live together or are getting a divorce? Conversely, at what point does the intervention of the courts infringe upon a person’s civil liberties? People going through a divorce often feel that they have little or no control over their lives anymore. It seems the court system takes over their life, telling them how to live, […]

Both the House and the Senate passed the grandparents rights bill. It now sits on Governor Haslam’s desk. It’s sponsored by Johnson City Republican Senator Rusty Crowe. Among other things, the measure calls for the court to consider whether parents are depriving a grandparent of the chance to visit a child. Check out this video […]

Grandparents visitation rights and custody rights are becoming a huge issue in our society. Not only are more grandparents today taking on the responsibility of their grandchildren, but more grandparents are petitioning the court for visitation rights and winning visitation rights and/or custody of their grandchildren. In my book No Greater Loss I explore the complexities of these issues in our culture today. My book has great detail about the specifics of the law and what it means to grandparents. […]

In a sad blow to grandparents rights the Alabama Supreme Court last week struck down a state law that guarantees visitation rights for grandparents, ruling that it unconstitutionally violated the rights of fit parents who might not want their kids to be around their grandparents. The SC justices overturned Alabama’s recently passed Grandparent Visitation Act in a 7-2 decision. To read more about this controversial issue check out my post on Grandparents Visitation Rights. Here is some of what the […]

The Alabama Senate passed a bill this week that would give grandparents visitation rights to their grandchildren. The bill has previously passed the Alabama House of Representatives in April and it now heads to the Governor for his signature. The grandparents rights bill (HB 348) was sponsored by Representative Harry Shiver of Bay Minette. It is nicknamed the “Grandparent’s Bill.” The bill was pushed by supporter Richard Deblase of Mobile who lost his grandchildren when they were killed by their […]

With changing familial structures that involve divorce and remarriage, some family relationships and roles fall to the wayside. Grandparents are often victims of these changes, with their grandparents visitation rights commonly terminated upon a relationship’s demise. Because of the bond between grandparent and grandchild, it’s important to understand just what constitutes grandparents visitation rights. Grandparents’ rights are actually governed by state statutes, which are given effect in other jurisdictions via federal law. Generally speaking, grandparents’ rights to visitation fall into […]
