Prosper Grandparent's Rights Lawyers
Understanding Grandparents' Legal Rights in Custody Cases
Grandparents often play an important role in the lives of their grandchildren, providing love and support during difficult times. Unfortunately, family conflict can sometimes prevent grandparents from being involved in a grandchild’s life. It is important to understand that while Texas courts are reluctant to interfere in family matters, there are legal rights that protect some grandparents so they may still be able to maintain a relationship with their grandchildren.
In Texas, grandparents have the following rights:
- The right to file for visitation or access rights with the court;
- The right to request reasonable possession or access at any time;
- The right to participate in hearings and proceedings regarding conservatorship, termination of parental rights, adoption and placement of children;
- The right for temporary orders when necessary;
- The ability to respond if someone else has filed suit against them involving child custody or visitation issues;
- The right to intervene in existing suits concerning child custody or access between parents as well as other parties.
