Many state laws do provide reasonable visitation rights for both maternal and paternal grandparents, although national laws are not very friendly to grandparents. If all else has failed, maybe it is time to go to court. |
If all else has failed, you may decide to go to court. Many child advocates believe the grandparent-grandchild relationship is so important to children in general, but to children of broken families in particular, that court should be a solution to denial of visitation. A final solution, of course, but one that is worthwhile for the children involved. Again, because of the emotional and financial burden to the grandparents, it should be the last resort, after you have tried negotiations with the custodial parent, mediation, and just plain swallowing your pride and begging. |
