Grandparents' Rights

Serving Residents of Parker, Johnson, Wise & Tarrant Counties

When people discuss child custody issues, the primary focus is on what is in the best interest of the child, as it should be. There is also a tendency to focus on making sure that both parents are positioned to play an active role in the child's life even if they are no longer going to be together.

But what about grandparents? Grandparents' rights are often forgotten when thinking about issues of visitation and access. This is a shame, as grandparents can play an important role in a child's development and in maintaining family structure when everything else in a child's life seems to be changing.

Are You Seeking Custody Rights?

Custody laws favor parents having custody of their children over all others in most circumstances. However, there are situations that can open the door to the possibility of grandparent custody. This will typically be an option in a case where parents are incarcerated, using drugs or abusing alcohol, or being physically or emotionally abusive to the children.
