Grandparents' Rights Attorney Serving Philadelphia
For many children, grandparents play a pivotal role in their development and upbringing. Unfortunately, grandparents are too often left out of their grandchildren's lives, especially after a quarrelsome divorce. If you have been left on the outside looking in, you need an experienced, no-nonsense attorney looking out for your rights.
At the Law Offices of Richard B. Bost, I represent grandfathers and grandmothers in the Greater Philadelphia area seeking to preserve their relationships with their grandchildren. You can count on me to work closely with you, provide you with straight advice, and ensure that you are fully aware of your rights.
A divorce or relocation shouldn't cause you to lose your relationship with your grandchildren. To learn more about your rights as a grandparent, contact me today to schedule an appointment.
What Rights Do You Have as a Grandparent?
Unfortunately, your rights may depend on where you live. Not all jurisdictions recognize grandparents' rights. The way the law in Pennsylvania currently stands, there are three ways in which grandparents can obtain visitation or some sort of partial custody of their grandchildren:
- If the child of the grandparent has died
- If the parents are divorced or separated for more than six months
- If the grandchild previously lived with the grandparent for more than a year and was then removed by a parent
While it is assumed that grandparents should be able to see their grandchildren, custodial parents sometimes refuse fair access to children by their non-custodial grandparents. If this is happening to you, I can help you petition the court to grant you the opportunity to spend time with your grandchildren.
