Extractions: Grandparents, stepparents and other caretakers often form deep and loving attachments with the children in their lives. Yet when death, divorce or estrangement tears families apart, these caretakers may find themselves without any legal right to maintain contact with the children they love. All 50 states currently have some type of "grandparent visitation" statute through which grandparents and sometimes others (foster parents and stepparents, for example) can ask a court to grant them the legal right to maintain their relationships with loved children. But state laws vary greatly when it comes to the crucial details, such as who can visit and under what circumstances. Approximately twenty states have "restrictive" visitation statutes, meaning that generally only grandparents can get a court order for visitation and only if the child's parents are divorcing or if one or both parents have died. Most states have more permissive visitation laws that allow courts to consider a visitation request even without the death of a parent or the dissolution of the family, so long as visitation would serve the best interests of the child. Some states allow other caretaking adults not just grandparents to make such a petition.

Too often, grandparents of non-custodial parents are erased from the family tree after divorce. Largely because of such wrenching situations, the idea of "grandparent rights" has gained traction. But what of parental rights? And should another layer of law be added to family relationships? As the definition of family has changed, the role of grandparents has shifted with it. Sometimes grandparents are excluded from children's lives, as frequently occurs in contested divorces. At other times, however, grandparents are forced to assume uninvited responsibility, such as the surrogate parenting of grandchildren whose natural parents are absent due to drug use, imprisonment or abandonment.
Extractions: NEW CHILD SUPPORT RULES ARE FINALLY HERE, YOU WON'T LIKE THEM T he Tennessee Department of Human Services has finally issued its new rules pursuant to the change in the law I helped write last year to treat children equally. They have taken a relatively simple task, i.e., treating each child the same and turned it into a 70 page nightmare. It became effective January 16, 2005 and they made damn sure it does not apply to existing cases.Lawyers will be charging more as a result of these Guidelines, which will lower parents' ability to support their children. I could name several judges that I know for certain will never be able to determine child support from these Guidelines because they are mathematically challenged. They have created a web page to help

Extractions: Grandparents - Rights and Responsibilities The arrival of a new baby can sometimes be stressful for parents and for grandparents. Feelings may be mixed and conflict may develop. Two young parents and two sets of grandparents under stress can provide opportunities for disagreements and misunderstandings. It is very important to remember that all of these many people may be involved in the childs life for many years. If at all possible, it is in everyones best interest to work on the issues in a way that doesnt make the situation worse and keeps everyones attention focused on what is best for the children. Grandparents rights are not specifically written into law in Canada except in Quebec. The laws of Prince Edward Island give any person the right to apply to Court for custody or for access and visiting rights - this includes grandparents. You can make an application at any time in the childs life. When family circumstances change, arrangements concerning custody, access and visitation may be changed as well. You must have a good reason and you will need the services of a lawyer to apply for this. The application will go through a court process and a judge will decide what is in the best interests of the child. If your child becomes a parent while still living at home, is under 18 years of age and is dependent, you have a legal obligation to provide for him or her. But because your child is now a parent, he or she has the right to make decisions about your grandchild that you may or may not agree with.
