Grandparents' rights are not as straightforward as are parental rights, but in some cases, grandparents do have the ability to seek and obtain court orders allowing them visitation or perhaps custody of grandchildren. Having arrived on this web page, you are perhaps seeking advice or representation, hoping to find a legal pathway to spending time with your grandchildren or protecting them from harmful home environments.
Allen Grandparents' Custody and Visitation Rights
Common scenarios in which grandparents often seek legal help asserting their rights to time with their grandchildren are as follows:
- The grandparents have formed strong bonds with their grandchildren, but parents or a parent stands in the way of their ability to care for them or spend time with them as desired.
- The grandchildren's home life may include dangerous or unhealthy situations, such as the presence of a questionable boyfriend or girlfriend of a parent or drug or alcohol abuse by members of the household.
- The son or daughter who is the father or mother of the grandchildren is absent (perhaps in the military or in jail), or incompetent and nonfunctional. The grandparents want to fill the gap, but the other parent puts up roadblocks.
