The Importance of Grandparental Rights

There is no question that a child will have a rich and full childhood with the loving relationship of grandparents. Most everyone remembers visiting grandma or grandpa, getting fresh baked cookies or listening to childhood stories from so many years ago. When a divorce threatens this relationship, a lawyer at the Law Offices of Brian D. Perskin is there to help.

Although a newer concept than a mother or father’s custody and visitation rights, grandparents’ rights are becoming more recognized throughout New York and the rest of the United States. With an attorney to advocate your rights and represent you in court, you can petition to obtain visitation rights or sometimes even custody of your grandchildren (if the parents are unfit). The court will determine what is in the best interest of the child in these cases, reviewing your past relationship with your grandchild and your efforts to stay in contact despite the parent or parents’ efforts to sever your relationship.
