San Bernardino Grandparents' Rights Attorney

Serving Grandparents' Rights in Riverside and Temecula

The relationship between a grandchild and a grandparent is special, inimitable. It can be neither accurately compared to nor sufficiently replaced with another familial bond. Unfortunately, there are a myriad of circumstances in which grandparents find themselves intentionally excluded from the lives of their grandchildren. Recent observance of grandparents rights has engendered new laws regarding non-parental visitation rights. Grandparents may solicit the court for visitation rights if the parents are living in separate homes, if a parent has been missing for a month or more, if the child does not live with either parent or if the child has been adopted by a stepparent. A San Bernardino family law attorney at our firm can assist you with the legal proceedings requisite to establishing visitation rights.

It should be noted that the court will not grant visitation rights in the absence of a relationship between the grandparent and grandchild. In other words, the courts do not recognized grandparents rights if they attempt to create a relationship where one did not previously exist. Sometimes, when a parent deliberately prohibits contact between a grandparent and grandchild, he or she will malign the grandparent in court in order to retain full control over the child. For this reason, though there are plenty others, you need to ensure that your rights are protected. Hiring a strong attorney to represent you is invaluable in the pursuit of this goal.
