Talk About Grandparents' Rights With a Smyrna Visitation Lawyer
When parents divorce, it is usually up to the courts to determine issues of custody and parenting time or visitation rights. Unfortunately, the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren is often overlooked and grandparents' rights may be left out of the equation. When both parents are unfit or it is not in the best interests of the children to be with their parents, grandparents may be able to get custody of those children.
At the Herrin Law Firm, P.C., located in Marietta, Georgia, family law attorney Parisa Herrin provides experienced representation for grandparents who wish to assert their rights. If you are concerned about the safety of your grandchild, it is important that you talk with a lawyer as soon as possible about issues of child custody, visitation rights and what options you have to protect your interests.

Experienced Marietta Grandparents' Rights Attorney
There are many circumstances where it may be possible for grandparents to assert their legal rights, including:
- When the parents of a grandchild are divorcing or separating
- When the parent of a grandchild has died
- If the grandchild has lived with the grandparent
- If the grandparents have acted as primary caregivers for the child
- In situations where the parents are abusive and/or neglectful
Like in most custody cases, the most important factor for cases involving grandparents' rights is the best interests of the children involved. The courts will always look to this when making decisions about their futures.
