Getting the facts about grandparents custody rights

The rise in grandparents custody today can be attributed to many things, especially the percentage of marriages that end in divorce. You can add to that parental problems with drugs and alcohol, financial issues, criminal issues, and the premature death of parents. In these tough times many things can cause grandparents to have to take responsibility for their grandchildren.

There is a lot of happiness that comes along with raising grandchildren, but there are also many problems that can come about along the way. To get additional help with health care, finances and schooling you need to learn about the laws in your state. Although lawyers often advertise expensive legal advice it is not worth spending $300 per hour to have a lawyer tell you information that is already available to you in a much easier, accessible format.

Resources such as my new book No Greater Loss can provide you with the information you need at a fraction of the cost of going to a lawyer who is interested in taking your money.

It is important to remember that every state has their own set of laws. Some states require that you adopt, have custody or are a legal guardian of your grandchildren to get the assistance that you need. When you have children come to live with you, certain things will change. If you live in a small house or apartment, you may need to upgrade your home to have the additional space that you need. Make sure you check over the laws when you go to enroll your grandchildren for school. You may have to have legal custody or guardianship to have them enrolled.

All of these things are detailed in my book No Greater Loss which is intended to help grandparents gain their true legal rights in difficult cases. These issues are not easy, but they are immediate. All the information you need to insure your grandparents rights are upheld is available to you without the expense of a time-billing lawyer. You can have everything you need by just making yourself aware of what the laws are and using your own judgment.

Please get the facts and make sure your legal grandparent rights are upheld and not left at the mercy of irresponsible parties without your grandkids’ best interest at heart.
