Seeking to obtain grandparents visitation rights can be a very trying event for any grandparent. When we usually see our grandchildren on a normal basis and that is taken away it can leave us very sad. We miss them very much because they are so much a part of our lives. We love the relationship we have with our grandchildren.
My book No Greater Loss addresses the issue of grandparents visitation rights in detail. Knowing just what you should do and understanding how to get it done is crucial. It’s also necessary to know what you should NOT do, what mistakes to avoid. One of the best approaches to reach that goal is discovering what mistakes others have made in order to make sure you avoid them.
There are many people who succeed in gaining visitation, while there are other that make mistakes and fail. Three of the most common mistakes that people make with gaining grandparent visitation rights are listed below:
First and foremost is not doing enough research on the subject before you start the process. The reason that this is very important is that knowing where you stand on putting into action your rights. To avoid this problem you need to know what the laws are in the state you and the state your grandchildren live in if not the same.
Next, if you don’t understand the law it is very important to seek the help of an attorney. This is sometimes a critical point since even though we may think we understand the law we usually do not. What you should do to avoid this mistake is to hire an attorney in the beginning.
And lastly, be patient and never give up. The waiting can be a problem in cases where we are so anxious to visit with our grandchildren. You can avoid this problem by trying to stay in contact by phone, mail or whatever way you can.
