Grandparents’ Rights In California
The government states that 10 percent of American children live with at least one grandparent, and that number does not include the number of grandparents who provide extensive financial and/or emotional support to their grandchildren. While a few grandparents are little more than babysitters and may even be reluctant to have a close relationship with their grandchildren, most of them go all in emotionally.
While these bonds often take months or years to form, a divorce can sever them practically overnight. Often one parent wants to “punish” the other parent, and does this by cutting off or limiting contact with that parent’s parents. Fortunately, if you are in this situation, you have some legal options in California.
