Grandparents' Rights

Long Island Grandparents' Rights Attorney

To a loving grandparent, the thought of losing their grandchild can be upsetting to say the least.  Our firm understands how much grandparents value their time spent with their grandchildren and will do everything in our power to protect grandparents from losing their rights.  There have been cases where neither parent was able to adequately provide for their child and the grandparents were given full custody in the best interest of the child.  In other cases, even though full custody was not given, visitation was retained as a right.  The court always tries to work in the direction of the best interest of the child.  If both parents are considered unfit due to drugs, alcohol, finances, or some similar circumstance, a Long Island family law attorney may be able to help you win custody of your grandchildren.  We realize that you probably want the best for your child and full custody is sometimes the decision of the court for children who are in danger through neglect, criminal activity or other problem.
