The bond shared between a grandparent and grand child is very special. While lawyers make hay with divorce cases parent-children relations are taking a beating. Childhoods are ruined with parent separations leading to disruption in studies, growth and development of the child. More and more and children are finding themselves at cross roads in life leaving them confused and scared. Grandparents need to exercise their grandparents rights to save the children in the time of crisis.
The grandparents rights can be ascertained if the parents have divorced or have expired. All parents married or divorced have a moral duty to provide affection, financial care and certain amount of discipline to the child. Unfortunately many children stop receiving these benefits when their parents are divorced, It is thus grandparents who must act to bring their grand children’s life back on track.
Before filing grandparents rights the court investigates the strength of the relation between the grandparents and the grandchildren. In such a case utmost priority is given to the child’s care. This is why the grandparents must be prepared to prove the strength of their relations with grandchildren in court. In cases where the parents are separated from the grandparents the court will decide whether to give grandparents visitation rights or not to give based on what is best for the child. Much more information about ways to achieve the rights has been posted by various social agencies and lawyers on the net.
