Norristown - Plymouth Meeting Grandparents' Rights Attorney
I understand the bond that grandparents and their grandchildren often share. So when grandparents in Pennsylvania ask me about custody or visitation of their grandchildren, my answer is often that I will fight hard for grandparents' rights. I tell them that Pennsylvania law sometimes allows grandparents to seek partial custody or visitation, and when they are seeking custody or visitation of their grandchild, I can help them take action to protect their rights. At the Law Office of Eric J. Cox, Attorney at Law, in Plymouth Meeting, I have more than 30 years of legal experience helping families.
Partial Custody and Visitation Lawyer
I help grandparents understand their rights under the law. Often, I tell them that they may seek partial custody and visitation in certain circumstances, like if the child's parent has died or the parents are unmarried, separated for six months or more, or have filed for divorce, or when the child has lived with the grandparents for a year or more. Sometimes protecting grandparents' rights can be an uphill battle in court, so I take aggressive action to make sure that we get the best outcomes possible.
Grandparents' Rights to Full Custody
Grandparents can also gain full custody of their grandchild under certain circumstances, like if they have been acting in place of the child's parent. I also assist grandparents with adoptions. Whatever your goal, the most important first step is that you understand how Pennsylvania grandparents' rights apply to your family.
Pennsylvania law also sometimes provides for custody and visitation by third parties—adults with large roles in the lives of the children whom they love. I can offer legal services for adults, like aunts, uncles, and godparents as well as grandparents.
