Extractions: Grandparents' Rights A few years ago, the United States Supreme Court changed the law in many states regarding grandparent rights. The case dealt with a statute in Washington, our neighbor to the north. Because of the Supreme Court decision, Oregon law changed. Now, generally, grandparents have the right to see their grandchildren if they are denied access and if it can be demonstrated that the legal parents do not act in the child's best interests. The same rules that apply to grandparents apply to others who have developed close relationships with minor children. In the past year, I helped an unrelated family obtain custody of a young girl because one parent consented and the other parent was determined to not have sufficient skill to be an effective parent. I also helped a grandmother and grandfather obtain custody of their grandchild.

AARP Bulletin: Visiting The 'Kids' Gets Harder the most significant trends in family lawtesting the legal right of grandparents a Dallas family law attorney and author of grandparents rights http://www.aarp.org/bulletin/yourlife/Articles/a2003-06-26-visitingthekids.html
Extractions: AARP Bulletin Online September 21, 2005 document.write(''); Grandparents Face New Legal Hurdles to Gain the Right to Visit Grandchildren By Christopher J. Gearon February 2003 The new limits reverse a 30-year-old trend in which grandparents in all 50 states gained the legal standing to seek visitation rights in court. "Now state court decisions are all over the map," says AARP attorney Rochelle Bobroff. "There's tremendous confusion, tremendous conflict." While very few family disputes go to court, grandparent advocates say, visitation rights are crucial because most grandparents play an invaluable role in the lives of grandchildren. Prior to 1965, that role was not well recognized, and grandparents who were blocked from seeing their grandchildren, usually by the parents, had no legal right to seek visiting privileges. As divorce rates, out-of-wedlock births and drug use increased, states began passing laws bolstering grandparent rights when parents died, divorced, separated or were jobless or disabled. Now the pendulum is swinging back, and more than a third of the states have narrowed those laws. One reason, says Traci Truly, a Dallas family law attorney and author of "Grandparents' Rights" (Sphinx Publishing, 2001), "was a perception that parents' rights had eroded." The reversals are a "reminder" that parents do have rights.

AARP Bulletin SEARCH Print Article Email Article Most grandparents visit with their grandchildren whenever they want to. They plan fun activities for the children. They send cards and emails. They take the kids on trips. They may even spoil the grandchildren a little bit. Many provide day care. Others help raise their grandchildren. All this helps keep families strong. Are you having problems seeing your grandchild? The first thing you need to do is learn about the visitation law in the state where your grandchild lives. No state law is going to automatically give you the right to visit your grandchild, but in some states you can hire a family law attorney and go to court to ask for visitation. In those states, a judge will make the final decision after looking at your family situation. In some states, the visitation laws have been upheld by the courts. In those states the grandparents have to prove in court that they should be able to visit their grandchildren. This is hard to do. In some of these states the laws say the court should decide based on what is in the best interest of the child. In other states the grandparents have to prove that the grandchild will be harmed if he or she does not visit with the grandparents.

Extractions: SeniorCitizens.Com Grandparenting : Grandparent Rights Grandparents' Rights is a relatively new legal issue. Given the high rate of divorce today, it's not surprising to see grandparents form a collective voice to define their rights and act politically to maintain an ongoing relationship to their grandchildren. The resources below offer a snapshot of important legal cases that are defining the central issues regarding grandparents' rights. According to Family Law Advisor : Visits with grandparents are a precious and integral part of a child's experience. The loving and nurturing relationship between grandparents and a grandchild often provides the child with intangible benefits that cannot be derived from other relationships. Increasingly, however, grandchildren, often the product of broken homes, have been deprived of contact with their grandparents. The legislature and courts, cognizant of the importance of the grandparent-grandchild relationship, have implemented procedures by which grandparents can seek visitation with their grandchildren. These laws, however, do not give a grandparent an absolute or unqualified right to visitation. Instead, as in all cases involving child custody and visitation, the primary inquiry is "what is in the best interests of the children." It is the grandparent's burden to show that it is in the best interest of the child for the grandparent to have visitation.
