Protecting Child from Unfit Parents

Grandparents often seek additional visitation time or custody when they feel a parent is not fit to care properly for the physical and emotional needs of a child. We understand the human and family dynamics that can be involved in these and other sensitive matters. Under the Custody and Grandparents' Visitation Act, a grandparent can seek visitation in situations such as where the parents are unmarried, if the parents are divorced or have been separated for six months, or if the child has already lived with grandparents for twelve months or more.

We take time to understand the issues, communicate with the parties involved and seek an amicable resolution that will protect children and – to the best extent possible – preserve the bonds of family unity.

In some cases, it is necessary to take a case to court and argue the disputed issues before a judge. When this is necessary, our attorneys are always well prepared to advocate effectively and passionately for the interests of our clients.
