Grandparents' Rights in Pasadena: Protect Your Relationship

Advocacy for Grandparents’ Rights in Los Angeles

Grandparents who are willing and able to play a role in their grandchildren's lives can have a very positive impact. Your relationship with your grandchildren is precious. Sadly, divorce or family disputes can threaten that relationship and even sever it.

If your rights are on the line because your grandchild’s parent is preventing you from seeing them, turn to Marilyn Smith Law APC. Our Pasadena grandparents' rights lawyers can advocate for your right to spend time with your grandchildren and can help you fight for visitation time.

Safeguarding the Grandparent & Grandchild Bond

We understand and encourage the desire to maintain a relationship with your grandchildren. Regardless of the reason that your visitation rights have been cut off, we are here to intervene and help. Our attorneys work one-on-one with you to evaluate your individual situation. This allows us to build a case explaining why visitation time is so vital to the child's best interests.

You may petition for visitation or custody if:

• Visitation is in the child's best interests
• You have a strong bond/relationship with the child
• The custodial parent is unable to make decisions

Understanding Termination of Parental Rights in Los Angeles

If one or both parents are unable to care for their children or if the court has deemed them unfit, it is possible for a grandparent to step in and take on the responsibility. In this case, we would have to illustrate that the parents are unfit and that you, as the grandparent, are prepared to take on a custodial role.
