Do Your Grandparents Rights Cover Legal Custody Only?
You could be seeking custody of a grandchild because you feel the child’s welfare is threatened. You will be expected to provide categorical proof to the courts and this can be a very difficult process. Only a qualified attorney can assess the merits of your case. Grandparents rights issues are complex and difficult not to mention mentally exhausting.
Many grandparents today are facing the heartbrake of being unable to continue a special relationship with a grandchild because of a change in circumstances in their own childs life. What makes no sense at all to them when they try to research the subject of custody is that every state in the U.S has it’s own laws and regulations. Nothing is straightforward and finding out where you stand can be like trying to thread a needle in the dark.
