Grandparents are often the silent victim in divorces. Many still want to maintain relationships with their grandchildren but can find it difficult to do so when spouses decide to end their marriage and establish agreements on how they will parent their children once everything is finalized. A Mankato grandparents rights lawyer at Kohlmeyer Hagen, Law Office Chtd., can help advocate for the needs and interests of grandparents like you and help you find ways to maintain an effective bond with your grandchildren, as well as seek custody of them depending on the circumstances.
Most grandparents feel helpless when their grandchildren are in the middle of custody battles. In many cases, grandparents are an important part of the grandchildren’s lives, and they deserve to have that relationship honored as part of the parenting plan created pursuant to a divorce.
