Protecting grandparents rights

Published by

Grandparents rights are hard enough to win in court without false charges and unfounded accusations being added to the mix. Yet, when grandparents have to fight their own children for grandparent rights or custody of their grandchildren they may actually have to deal with these things.

That’s because grandparents may actually find themselves accused of everything from physical abuse to mental abuse to using drugs. This is possible because any real or imagined grievances or misdeeds from your children’s childhood can be brought up in order to assault or accuse grandparents who only want their rights.

It is more common than ever for grandparents to get physical custody with the incident of hard economic times and drug abuse among parents, but you may not get these grandparents rights if the parents are also accusing you of such things. Even if you are just seeking grandparents visitation you may find that you don’t have the rights you deserve if your grandchildren’s parents make up things about you.

Often these are very complicated issues and you need to get some background. You can go for a consultation with a lawyer, but you have to be careful—often they will charge you large amounts for legal advice or info that is commonly known.

A better first option is a place like The Custody Center where you can get quick advice specific to the state you live in instantly and for a fraction of the cost of an attorney.

Remember, there is very little consideration or legislation to help grandparents who are rescuing grandchildren from parents who have issues with drug, alcohol, dangerous neglect, and physical, sexual and mental abuse. What laws there are, however, can be important to you and can be used for your benefit.

This is one of the hardest issues in the world. Often it is better to handle these issues outside of the courts. But, sometimes you have to fight your own children to save your grandchildren. Eventually it becomes time to stop giving more chances, bailing them out and letting them destroy the lives of your grandchildren. Before you make those kinds of decisions, though, make sure you get familiar with the background on these issues of grandparents rights.
