Of course, things could also go smoothly, but do you really want to take that chance?
It is during the time of a divorce in which your grandchildren are involved that you need to act. During this time courts will allow both parties to add grandparents visitation to the divorce settlement order if the parents OK that. Lots of times they will. You should at least ask.
It is recommended to act quickly because doing so puts a stop to the grandchildren just wondering why you have disappeared out of their lives. Failing to do this can easily cost you precious time. So don’t make the mistake of ignoring this specific really important step!
Getting the grandparents visitation inserted at the time of the divorce can prevent you from losing precious time with those little grandchildren. It will protect your grandparents rights far better than if you later have to go court about it.
