Rooney Law Firm is largely recognized as the first law firm in the county to regularly bring grandparents into a divorce mediation when discussing visitation and parenting time. We realize the importance of this relationship and focus our attention on doing what is in the best interest of the children. In many situations, this requires a careful study of the past relationship of the children and grandchildren. If you have been regularly visiting them each week for the last several years, the court is likely to order that that schedule is maintained for the benefit of the children. Our lawyers can have a more detailed discussion regarding your specific situation through a free consultation at our office.
Grandparent Custody in Chico
In many severe situations, it is possible for grandparents to not only seek visitation rights, but actually gain guardianship of the children. If the children are living in a situation that does not foster growth and development, the court can examine the possibility of granting custody to other family members. We have extensive experience guiding clients through processes such as this. Do not hesitate to contact our office with any questions or concerns.
