Round Rock Grandparents Rights Lawyer

Grandparents often play an important role in the life of their grandchildren. In some cases, however, it becomes necessary to seek court intervention to secure rights to custody or visitation.

At Heinrich Christian, PLLC, we provide caring and sensitive representation for grandparents seeking to establish child custody or visitation rights.

If you are considering legal action to pursue visitation or custody of your grandchildren, it is important to seek experienced legal counsel.

How Can Grandparents Seek Custody?

In Texas, grandparents often face an uphill battle in establishing custody or visitation with grandchildren. Grandparents do not have automatic rights to access their grandchildren. However, they may petition the court for visitation or custody. There are many legal hurdles grandparents must establish in order to obtain custody or visitation rights without the approval of one of the child’s parents. Additionally, grandparents face a heavy burden in establishing their rights in court.

Schedule A Consultation

In determining whether to grant those rights, the courts consider many factors, including whether:

• The parents of the child divorced
• The parent was found incompetent, incarcerated or deceased
• The child suffered abuse or neglect from the parent
• The child has resided with their grandparents for six months or more
• The parent-child relationship was terminated by a court order

As any one of these situations can be complex, it is important to consult with a family law attorney to evaluate your particular circumstances.
