Grandparents’ Rights
Helping Grandparents Gain Custody Of Their Grandchildren
Grandparents face numerous challenges in the legal process when it comes to obtaining custody rights over their grandchildren.
Pennsylvania law states that custody is presumed in the parent’s favor unless “clear and convincing evidence” is presented to rebut the family law court’s presumption.
However, meeting this standard is more difficult than it sounds. Getting an experienced attorney to help with the process is vital.
