The issue of grandparents visitation rights is ever more relevant, as more and more Baby Boomers enter their golden years and seek to participate actively in the lives of their children and grandchildren. Typically, parental rights trump the rights of grandparents. However, the United States Supreme Court has said grandparents have some rights, too.
You Have Been Shut Out: But Surprising Resources May Be Available to You
Maybe you’ve grown estranged from your adult child and totally shut off from seeing the grandchild you love. Or maybe the situation is somewhat more flexible but frustrating nonetheless. In any case, it isn’t right that you have been blocked out of the lives of your grandchildren. They should have the right to know and love you and to spend quality time with you.
The creditable, compassionate Grandparents visitation rights lawyers at Fletcher, Rohrbaugh & Chahine, LLP will walk you through your legal rights to manage the situation. Often, fights over grandparents visitation rights ultimately surface far deeper issues and family conflicts. Working through even simple questions of how and when a grandparent might visit can open up all sorts of old wounds, create an emotional crisis in your family, and potentially even lead to other legal complications.
