Salinas Grandparents Rights Lawyer
Do grandparents have rights in California?
The California family law courts always favor the best interests of a child. In cases where there have been custody issues between parents or if the child’s parents are emotionally or physically unavailable, a grandparent may petition the court for visitation rights to his or her grandchild or grandchildren.
Do you have questions about your visitation rights as a grandparent? Contact our firm today to discuss today.
You Have Visitation Rights
If you have a strong bond with your grandchild or children and wish to seek visitation or custody rights, you may have a case. If you have been denied visitation in the past or if the child’s family situation has changed, it may be in your grandchild’s best interest to seek a stable home environment that you may be able to provide.
A grandparent can request visitation if:
- The parents are living in separate houses, cities, or states
- When one or both parents are deceased
- The parent’s whereabouts are unknown
- The child does not live with his or her parents
- A stepparent has adopted the grandchild in question

"When I say they are the BEST, believe me they are!"Christian is the best! He helped me in a very difficult custody situation. My son was getting physically abused. It was so difficult to see the court system not trying to protect my son. But Christian never gave up and fought for my son like he was his own. I will forever be grateful to him and his Wonderful paralegal Jana. So when I say they are the BEST, believe me they are! My son is now out of harms way because of Christian never giving up. So don't waste your time on other attorneys that will not care for the BEST interest of your child. You cannot put a price on peace of mind.Angie
