Grandparents Rights Attorney in Newark, NJ

Grandparents Rights Overview

Often, when couples separate or divorce, children get caught in the middle. Not only are relationships with their mothers and fathers reformed, some relationships with other family members are strained or ended altogether.

It is common for grandparents to be excluded from a court order or settlement agreement. Luckily, grandparents have legal rights in terms of child visitation, even if the parents of their grandchildren were never married.

I, New Jersey family law attorney Gwendolyn O. Austin, can help you understand the rights you have as a grandparent.

When you contact my law firm, I will assist you with the steps you need to take within the court system in order to obtain visitation rights with your grandchild(ren). I will also help answer any questions you have regarding your case, and identify any issues that may arise, such as transportation for the child(ren), being included in special events and celebrations, being informed about health issues, etc.

Additionally, if you have reason to believe that the custodial parent of your grandchild(ren) is unfit to parent, and honestly feel that your grandchild(ren) will be better off in your care, I will help you work toward gaining custody. This includes preparing you for what the court will consider in determining which living arrangement is in the best interest of your grandchild(ren), like your living situation, income, location and other vital factors.

I understand how challenging divorce and other family law issues can be for families, and that is why I treat all of my clients compassionately. I strive to provide straightforward and objective legal advice regarding your situation, and will passionately represent you in order to reach a positive outcome in your case.
