Grandparents’ Rights And Roles

The right to raise your child is a basic right in Louisiana. Although parental rights are hard to override, it is possible in the right situation. Grandparents are increasingly playing a larger role in raising their grandchildren, including visitation, legal decision-making and custody rights.

Grandparents may be involved in raising a child when there are legal or substance abuse problems, an absentee parent or a parent whose disabilities limit their ability to care for their children. Grandparents’ rights are often determined by the court based on the existing relationship a grandparent has with grandchildren.

Such cases are complicated, but the right attorney can influence your outcome and help re-establish or empower your access to your grandchildren.
