Understanding Grandparents' Rights in Bucks County
Ardent advocates for Grandparents' Rights to a continual loving relationship with your grandchildren
When a couple divorces, other family members may suffer as a result. Grandparents may no longer be able to enjoy the time they spend with the children. In Pennsylvania, grandparents may legally seek reasonable partial custody or visitation if:
- One of the parents has died
- The parents divorce or have been separated for six months or longer
In determining visitation, the court considers several factors, including:
- The amount of personal contact you've had with the child before your application for visitation
- Whether visitation is in the child's best interest
- The effect of your visitation on the parent-child relationship
