Newark Grandparent Visitation Lawyer
New Jersey Grandparents' Rights Attorney
Children can benefit almost as much from relationships with their grandparents as they can from the ones they have with their mom and dad — sometimes even more. When a couple separates or divorces, however, the relationship is often disrupted, as the courts must determine custody of the children and visitation rights of the noncustodial parent. All too often, a grandparent who has already forged a bond with his or her grandchildren may be left out of a court order or settlement agreement.
In New Jersey, grandparents do have some rights under the law and can seek child custody and child visitation rights. The courts always examine what is ultimately in the best interests of the child and examine a number of factors including:
- Child's relationship with grandparent(s)
- Amount of contact child has with grandparent(s)
- Relationship between parent(s) and grandparent(s)
Whether you are seeking child visitation rights that will allow you to build on a relationship you've already forged or you want to gain full custody of a grandchild because you feel that the custodial parent is an unfit parent, contact me, Newark grandparent visitation attorney Gwendolyn O. Austin, for a free, confidential consultation.
