Understanding the Legal Implications
Grandparents seeking custody of their grandchildren must navigate a complicated legal landscape. In most cases, a grandparent's right to obtain custody is limited to situations where the child's parents are deceased, the child's parents have been deemed unfit to retain custody, the child's parents consent to grandparent custody, or the child has lived with a grandparent or grandparents for a year or more. In addition, the court will weigh both the child's best interests and the rights of the parents to control their children's upbringing.
When Parents are Unable to Care for Their Children
Grandparents' custody cases can be emotionally challenging and difficult to win. However, if a grandparent has a strong case and can demonstrate that they are able to properly care for their grandchild, they may be successful in gaining custody. Factors that can contribute to a strong case include a history of caring for the grandchild, the child's express desire to live with the grandparent, and evidence of parental unfitness due to abuse or neglect. It is important for grandparents seeking custody to work with an experienced family law attorney who can help them navigate the legal process and effectively present their case in court.
At The Stiltner Law Firm, PLLC, Mr. Stiltner understands the challenges that come with grandparents' custody cases and are here to help. A experienced family law attorney can provide you with personalized guidance throughout the legal process and work tirelessly to ensure your rights as a grandparent are respected.
