Grandparents’ Rights

In some circumstances, grandparents seek custody or visitation of their grandchildren. The custody statute allows grandparents to file for custody under circumstances such as where a parent is neglectful or abusive or where the child has resided with the grandparent for an extended period of time. If you are a grandparent seeking custody of your grandchild, we can assist in fighting for our rights and for the best interest of your grandchild. If you are a parent, and a grandparent is seeking custody for the wrong reasons, or under circumstances that are not permitted by the statute, we can assist you in maintaining custody of your child.
