UNDERSTANDING GRANDPARENTS’ RIGHTS
In Southern California Family Law
In the vast majority of family law cases, the court has a policy of non- interference and will respect the rights of parents to decide which family members they allow to see their children. However, in rare circumstances, the court may intervene through laws that protect grandparents’ rights and allow grandparents to still have visitation rights even if it goes against the wishes of the parents or guardians. In an ideal dynamic, grandparents have a positive relationship with the parents of their grandchildren, which allows them to see their grandchildren without intervention from the family court system. In some cases, the relationship between the grandparents and the legal parents of the children has fallen apart. This can lead the parents to not allow the grandparents to have the regular contact and visitation they previously enjoyed. Grandparents in this situation will need to demand their rights to reasonable visitation through the family court system. The grandparents need to have had a preexisting relationship with their grandchildren that created a bond between them. If the grandparents were not or were only minimally involved in their grandchildren’s lives, they won’t be able to claim rights to visitation. In a different circumstance, grandparents actually raise their grandchildren if the parents are absent or unavailable, for example, if the parent(s) is dealing with drug addiction or serving prison time. Grandparents in this circumstance should consult an attorney about establishing legal guardianship. If you’re a grandparent dealing with any of the situations laid out above, give our office a call.
