Do grandparents have any special legal standing when it comes to the upbringing of their grandchildren? In some situations, the answer is yes. Individual circumstances make a great deal of difference in whether grandparents have rights to visitation or custody of their grandchildren.
Talk to a Texas Grandparents' Custody Lawyer
Examples of special factors that may open the door to child custody or visitation for grandparents are the following:
- Neither parent may be capable of raising the children because of drug abuse or addiction, alcohol abuse and dependency, incarceration, or a physical or mental illness.
- Grandparents have established verifiable bonds with their grandchildren and have been closely involved in their lives.
