Houston Grandparents' Rights Attorneys
Being a grandparent can be one of life's simplest yet most rewarding pleasures. However, if your grandchildren's parents divorce, or if another situation has occurred, you may be prevented from spending time with your grandchild. The Houston grandparents' rights lawyers at Patel Warren & Ervin assist grandparents in these matters.
If you are a grandparent who would like to assert your rights to visitation with your grandchild or grandchildren, contact us to schedule a consultation.
Child Custody Lawyers in Texas
As with all matters we handle in our family law department, we focus on securing a happy, healthy future for the involved child or children. Child custody and visitation disputes are frequently fueled by emotions. Our attorneys are here to help you overcome the emotions and arrive at the best possible outcome.
Grandchildren can benefit greatly from spending quality time with their grandparents. Sometimes, though, parents do not allow this to happen. In the aftermath of a divorce, for example, your ex-son-in-law or ex-daughter-in-law may be denying access to the children.
As a grandparent who wants to have a meaningful relationship with your grandchildren, you do have options. Our law firm can inform you of these options. Further, we align ourselves with your goals to ensure you get to spend time with your grandchildren. You can assert your rights by filing an application for conservatorship, filing for access to your grandchildren or seeking to intervene in a custody action. The decision regarding which action to take will depend on your goals and unique situation.
Grandparents' Rights in Situations Other Than Divorce
Grandparents can also apply for access to children when the situation does not involve divorce. Patel Warren & Ervin assists grandparents in situations such as:
- The grandparents' child (grandchild's parent) has died
- The grandparents' child is in jail
- The grandparents' child has been determined legally incompetent
- The grandparents' child has terminated his or her parental rights
- The child has been the victim of parental abuse or neglect
- The child lives with the grandparents or has lived with the grandparents at least six months
