Grandparent Rights: Protecting, Raising Grandchildren
Grandparent rights have changed over the years. It’s more complicated now, but a skilled family law attorney can still help Grandparents protect their grandchildren. Grandparents step in every day to help raise their grandchildren.
New Law for Grandparent Rights
In the past, it was common for the courts to allow Grandparents to become involved and to give them “standing”. Then the United States Supreme Court changed the playing field. For a Texas grandparent to succeed in court today against a parent, the grandparent must prove that the parent is not fit by proving that the child’s “present circumstances would significantly impair the child’s physical health or emotional development.” You need to talk to Board Certified Family Law Attorney, Bob Leonard at the Bob Leonard Law Group if you have fears about your grandchildrens safety. Our law firm has been very successful with Grandparent rights cases.
